The kind of disruption that can occur from mobile malware, while not common, can still be frustrating and inconvenient.

At Nokia, we understand how important it is that your mobile phone operates reliably, and that you can trust your personal content is safely stored. You can help protect your mobile device against harmful applications by following these simple measures:

• Exercise caution when accepting applications sent via Bluetooth or opening MMS attachments as they may include software harmful to your phone or PC.
• Do not approve or download content to a mobile device from an unknown or unreliable source.
• In general, keep your Bluetooth connection on hidden mode unless you specifically need to be visible to others.

Trusted sources for content download may include operator portals and other well-known brands, such as the Nokia Software Market, that offer good protection against viruses and other harmful software.

If you suspect that your mobile phone has been affected by mobile malware, please contact Nokia customer service.
