Virus:Call it Computer/Cellphone destroyer,Document Destroyer,System Killer,Cellphone poison or any other similar name. Suffice it to say that these are microscopic organisms (Latin: poison) which when introduced into a system cause harm,corrupt,spoil or destroy the system .Computer and cell phone viruses attack files, saved personal data or any other information therein resulting in the loss of vital documents. The Latin word "poison" appears to be more familiar and explicit.A poisoned human could die just as a virus infected computer or cell phone could be damaged beyond repairs.Our research on the effects of virus on mobile cell phones showed that virus could delete or corrupt vital documents and make the cell phone unusable in some cases.This is also the view held in http:/www.uk.insight,com/appps/nbs/index.php?section= and I quote " The first viruses have emerged for mobile phones and it is possible to create malicious code that makes the phone unusable. A virus can cause false billing, unwanted disclosure of stored information, and deleted, corrupted, modified or stolen user data. " We totally agree with this view. The need for the installation of a smart antivirus program in your Nokia 6600 Cell phone can not therefore be overemphasized. This will not only provide a good firewall for the unwanted invaders but also give a good fight in removing/cleaning the system should some eventually gain entry into the system. A good antivirus package will reduce the risk of your Nokia 6600 cell phone being infected by virus and avoid the loss of your valuable data/Documents.

PRODUCTS COMPARED
While NetQin antivirus,ProgSense antivirus and BitDefender can be downloaded for free,the kaspersky antivirus cost $29.95 each while F-Secure can be downloaded at a cost of $39.95 Our online survey on the rating of these products and the practical tests conducted on them point to the same direction. Both F-Secure and NetQin antiviruses came first and second in that order.F-Secure is however free and is therefore recommended where the risk of data loss is not too crucial. For the best protection however, F-Secure is recommended.
It is however worth noting that " Your device can only support one antivirus application.Having more than one application could affect the performance of your device."(www.nokia.com.)
