At first I thought nothing of it and just ignored it but then i noticed my phone was really slow all the time when I was opening up messages and so on and I came to the realization that the virus had completely messed with my phone. It was deleting all text messages I was receiving and deleting my call log. It deleted a text message I received from a girl I'm dating and because i missed it, it almost completely blew up my chances with this girl..fortunately things were worked out. Anyways, point is this virus f&ed my phone and all I had to do was open a text message. The only way I could fix the problem was to completely reinstall the operating system on my blackberry. Has anybody else had this problem or know of a way to prevent viruses getting through on my blackberry?
Hi corey,
When I purchased my BB 8900 Curve (LOVE IT) I specifically asked when I was buying it at the TMobile Store about viruses/antivirus software, and I was told that Blackberries do not get viruses, because it's not like a regular computer. Hope this helps.
