The BBC have posted an article related to a newly created virus that focuses on Pocket PC and mobile phones which are running cut down versions of Microsoft's software.
The virus has been written to be polite as it asks permission to spread to a new host when infected applications are being run.
"You're more likely to have a meteorite strike your house than be hit by this virus," said Carole Theriault, anti-virus consultant for Sophos.
"Owners of PDAs running the Pocket PC operating system should not lose any sleep over this virus, although it might be a taste of things to come in the future."
The virus was created as a "proof of concept" and should not cause any problems. However who knows what the future may hold?
