3396003964 Mobile Phone Virus

Watch out for this shitty virus. For the past three weeks I’ve had this on my phone(Nokia6630) and its really annoying. Its has the name of HATI HATI SMS VIRUS.

Phone Log

What is does?
  • It keeps sending SMS to the number 3396003964 every 3 seconds! Hence,
  • It keeps your network connection busy, when other people call you, they can’t reach you.
  • Keeping your network connection active means using up a lot of battery!! A fully charged phone doesn’t last more than 30 minutes.
  • You always receive SMS(from your friends) LATE.
  • You cannot connect to the web as your connection is always busy.
  • You have to dial a number a lot of times before you can actually get it dialed.
  • The content of the sms is blank, and it doesn’t show up in the sent items, you can see its activity in the Call Log though.
  • Since it keeps on filling the call log, even you phone memory gets full rapidly.

Luckily, here in Mauritius, i don’t get charged when these sms are sent.

How to remove

Fexplorer

  • Download the little program called Fexplorer. It allows you to browse your phone memory content(even system files).
  • Once installed, look for the folder ‘Guardian’ in the system folders in C:\ and DELETE IT.
  • Voila, the annoyance is gone.

These DO NOT WORK

Made this especially for the virus! :P

Mobile Antivirus software

Reason : Most antivirus(even free ones) require activation which require an internet connection, which you do not have. Even if you managed to install one, it doesn’t detect this virus.(My experience, NETQuin, Fsecure didnt work.).

Installling Anticomwarrior

Reason : This virus isnt com warrior. Simply.

Deep Reset using code (*#7370#)

Reason : it does nothing to the virus! Just resets your phone. DO NOT DO THIS.

Disabling Cell Broadcast

Reason : Well, i don’t quite know. But it doesn’t work either.

EndNote

To the person who created this : That was genius dude! pawn all the resources of a phone with a simple loop! but we still pawned you!

To everybody else : I hope that this post helped those who were in need of a solution. I had 3  bad weeks with this.
