"Two Symbian operating systems are vulnerable: S60 platform 3rd Edition, aka Symbian OS 9.1, as well as S60 5th edition,
aka Symbian OS 9.4. The operating systems run a number of smartphones from such manufacturers as Nokia, Samsung and 
Sony Ericsson.

Dubbed ShadowSrv.A, FC.Downsis.A, BIT.N and MapPlug.A, the viruses come hidden in games designed for Symbian 
smartphones."
