jip,
format!!
3key format, but be prepared to lose all your data, unless you back it up!
switch phone off.
press and hold "*" + "green phone" + "3".
and switch power on while keeping those keys down, until you see the "formatting" screen. oh, and make sure u got a full battery. otherwise, you'llcorrupt the phone and render it useless.
good luck.
Thanks man

Thnaks bro i REALLY hope this works since i bought myself antivir for mobile phones... this Btooth virus is crap !!!
It sent abt 150 mms's to ppl on my address book... and it even spreaded to the lan pc that had bluetooth on.. so you can imaging there were abt 12 ppl at the lan and their phones got infected.. they sent mms's out as well so yeah i killed the lan

Nothing amazing. Just the virus itself.

OR TRY THIS
When disaster hits (from a virus or something)
it calls for a phone format.
First of all: Backup all your data as the format
will delete EVERYTHING.
Then make sure that your battery is FULLY charged.
Now enter *#7370# and the phone will ask for your
lock code (the default code is 12345)and it will
start the format. This will take a few miutes.

You won't believe this but after the format the virus is STILL in my ROM. It seems that the Nok6600 came factory loaded with these viruses.. what the hell man ??!!
