This virus may be spread from one Palm OS device to another if infected files are shared via infrared beaming or installed through a docking station. It is a direct executable and launching it, either accidentally or intentionally, will result in the actions mentioned above. However, only backed-up third party applications will be restored. Both data and applications not backed up will be lost. The files actually still exist, but their icon has been made invisible.
Recovery requires a hard reset and hot-sync.
To remove the Trojan from a system, users must delete third party applications. Both the virus and the Trojan require that the handheld user run the programs. Among the possible problems that we foresee are that people may not realize that running the programs will be harmful until it's too late, they may not have sufficiently backed up their applications and data, or they may not realize that they have the virus before spreading it to others. The company delivers software benefits through an Internet browser, virtually eliminating the need to install, configure and manage the technology on a local PC or network.
