With the acquisition of Trolltech, perhaps we all were already unconsciously aware that Nokia releasing Linux-based handsets is just a matter of time. And besides, Nokia already rolled out a Linux-based tablet before. It’s just that I’m so used to Nokia systems carrying Symbian platforms that this took me by surprise.

If you don’t have an anti-virus program running on your computer or you don’t have cash to spend on a new one at the moment, follow the link below and get yourself a FREE version of AVG which is one of the best freeware anti-virus programs on the web.

I’ve got this running on my wife’s laptop at home and she hasn’t had any experience with nasties as of late.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition for Windows XP and Vista

Over the weekend we received reports of a malicious software package created for unlocked iPhones.

The trojan installation package contains false application installation information that causes legitimate third party applications to be removed if the trojan is uninstalled from the iPhone.

The first warnings about the trojan were published on the following site: http://www.modmyifone.com/
Thread: http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24323

Web sites hosting the malicious package were taken offline soon after the discovery of the low-risk threat.

Hopefully this serves as a warning for those who have opened their iPhones using a security hole in the system and then installing unverified software without a second thought to what they are doing.

This time it was an 11-year-old kid playing with XML files who created the trojan. Next time it might be someone else with more skills and with specific target.
