    Hey ppl's,

    I've got a nokia 6600, I have a habit of checkin if people around me have bluetooth when i'm on the luas almost everyday, I send Sound clips from south park and such and most of the time ppl take them, Yesterday evening while on the luas i accepted a message from a phone and the messasge title was "eywlhn8.sis" And when it tried to open it was an installer, i cancelled it from installin straight away and thought i'd ask you fine folk if ye knew anything about it

    sending and receiving messages to/from strangers sounds like "the road to ruin" to me .... :(

    I tried a Google on 'eywlhn8.sis' and no joy ..... :cool:

    its called comwarrior afaik. googling it wont help because its a different random filename each time it sends itself. if you didnt install it you should be ok

    a hint: don't accept .sis files from strangers

    Probably Comwarrior or a variant.

    Never accept sis install files from a random source, and make sure you get a virus scanner for your mobile - McAfee mobile security is pretty good.

    I've been prompted to accept files like this every time i'm in or around connolly station in Dublin, not sure what the deal is with is but they're all .sis files so i've steered well clear.

    I get asked to accept the file and when i decline, it asks again in around 2-3 mins, with a different filename, but always .sis
