SimWorks, an Anti-virus firm, has issued an alert informing users of a Malicious Trojan hidden inside cracked versions of the popular game, Metal Gear Solid. The Trojan, codenamed MetalGear.a, disables all Anti-virus programs and integrates a variant of the Cabir worm, which was detected on some devices in June 2004. The Trojan also installs a version of the Cabir worm, which seeks to spread itself by sending a file called SEXXXY.sis to any Bluetooth-enabled phones in the vicinity, SimWork says. If users accept and install this file, it disables the Symbian application icons that may be used to reverse the effects of the Trojan on your phone. The company has updated its anti-virus software that will detect and stop the Trojan before it's installed on your smart phone.
