Has anyone got any information on if this virus will be attacking windows mobile 6.1? Do you find this valuable?

its just a software virus like all others but dont think it well make its way to any windows mobile phones, if it dose theres always security apps you can get like flexilis ive got it and it seems to work fine but has never found any spyware or virus ever on my phone, you can always download a copy of your 6.1 rom software and save it, or just hard reset, if you ever have any problamo with your phone, but i would be more in keeping a eye out on your bluetooth when your around lots of peaple that have phones, bluetooth hacking is the new thing now, just read on go google and type bluetooth hacking theres lots of info on that, Do you find this valuable?

Conficker does not target the WM platform - so "never" would be the answer.

kungfubass is correct in the assertion that you should probably keep tabs on your bluetooth. Making a BT-Sniper is a 15 minute DIY project. You are much more likely to encounter problems with BT versus Conficker on a WM device.
