Q:What is a Mobile Virus?
Ans: A mobile virus is an electronic virus that targets mobile phones or wireless-enabled PDAs. Common mobile viruses include, Cabir, Duts, Skull, Comwar. Basically these mobile viruses propogate by MMS, SMS which are sent to other users through the infected mobile devices's address book.
Types of payloads
1. Disabling of certain functions ( SMS, MMS, Call)
2. Nothing. The viruses are just there to spread.
3. Keystroke logging, captures information input and output of the phone.
4. Termination of firmware, data, or both.
Q: How it infect the human body
Ans: Its harmless to the human body! The virus cannot be transmitted to humans, because it is infact NOT ACTUALLY A VIRUS. The term virus in this case is NOT THE SAME virus as the type which are caused by bacteria.
The type which infects humans are biological viruses, which are infact alive and are organisms. Mobile Virus are electronic viruses, which are not alive but are simply malicious code written by people to carry out a certain malicious task.
The idea that mobile viruses can infect humans comes from an urban legend in Pakistan, You have to remember that the people living there have little exposure to electronic devices such as personal computers or access to the internet.
Summary
What we cant explain tends to be speculated a lot. In this case, prehaps a series of coincidences or over over-bloated stories caused my miscommunication might have resulted in this urban legend. Bottom line, It is impossible for a mobile virus to infect humans because it is technically NOT A VIRUS, the term computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user.
Infact the term computer virus was coined when the term was first used in print by Fred Cohen in his 1984 paper "Experiments with Computer Viruses", where he credits Len Adleman with coining it.
