Could my Blackberry Pearl 8120 have a virus?

[ladii.7]

Earlier today, while on the internet, i had clicked on a link a started downloading an incorrect file. I do not know if it downloaded completely. I tried cancelling it, but the download was saying file is in use. This all was during the afternoon. Come 5pm, my phone turns off as im typing and does not want to turn back on. It turns off, then tries to turn back on, but the red light only comes on for a few seconds and then it stops. I cannot get this phone to turn on at all!! Can anyone help me please! thank you!

Did you do a battery pull yet?

Could be the battery itself. The last time I had that happen (battery pulls didn't work for me) I bought a new battery and all was well.

as for the virus, thats highly highly unlikely. For piece of mind you could download Lookout and run the virus scan on it.

i dont know how to do a battery pull..
ill try a new battery also.
for the lookout, would that be downloaded to the phone once its working? or to the computer n then it scans the phone?

sounds like you're going to have to reload the OS.
