That's not a virus. The image of the 'manifest' files appears to be corruption of the gallery database. The other one I'm not sure, what screen were you in when you took the picture?

In any case - reformat the device with *#7370#, if not able to do that and you already had 5800XM software v20 or later, hard reset by holding green, red and camera keys whilst switching on. This process will delete your data on the phone, so make a backup using PC Suite but don't include only things like contacts, messages - leave out settings and user files.

Asking for a recommended antivirus program for a Symbian phone is like asking the same question for Linux - the simple answer is "Don't bother - there are no real viruses."

In other words - IT'S NOT WINDOWS!!!

That is only valid while Linux does not have a significant market share. If Linux or OSX or whatever else became popular, they would be targets and will be subject to much greater security scrutiny as well.

Simple google search shows there are security holes in *gasp* Linux as well that need to be plugged. http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS8844914464.htm

Also last note. Open does not mean flawless. What about the major DNS flaw that was discovered earlier this year? DNS has been around for how long? While "there are no real viruses", it is definitely not the same as "product is immune to viruses".

That example was 18 months old. The vuln was plugged long ago.

Nobody's denying there are flaws in Linux or any other operating system. What's makes them different from Windows is the time it takes for the vulnerabilities to be identified and neutralised. With very few exceptions, the turn-around time is a matter of days in the open source world. Witn Windows it takes months, if not years, for that to happen.

[vineetc]

ya i want nokia 6300 antivirus

[grschinon]

@xavier01:

That malware will not have affected your phone. It's a Windows executable that cannot be run by a Nokia mobile phone. It was simply deposited on the phone when you connected it to an infected computer at some time in the past.

@vineetc:

The 6300 is a S40 phone. There is no such thing as a virus for an S40 phone because the only thing it will run is a java applet, which has restricted access to the phone's resources and cannot cause any damage. Consequently, there is also no such thing as an antivirus for a S40 phone.

I dont know if there is an anti virus app, but if there is it will be on nokia 5800 applications enjoy

I downloaded software from the Nokia Ovi site by WLAN and I now appear to have a virus. I have apps which are obviously not apps which won't go away. I can't use any keys, I can't receive or make calls the phone is now rendered useless. The apps are aknnfysvr and popnotifierappserver. Can anyone help please?

[Dokubo76]

Yea, psychomania is correct, but if you're bent on getting a recommendation, why not try NetQin antivirus, it's a beautiful one. Downloadable from their official website.

[eibeiro65]

I have 'popnotifierappserver' funning on my phone.  Isn't this a virus?

[jjegan]

Why do you say its a virus ??  Have you just invented first Symbian virus   .

POP   as in email POP

Notifier as in    tell you
