Make sure your bluetooth is set to "discoverable" and not "on". Anybody have any more info on the virus? Feel free to add... Justin L. -------------------- Justin L.

I think you mean have Discover turned OFF. That is the normal recomendation anyway. If you are not using BT at all, you should have it turned off as this will save you some battery power too. -------------------- Samsung Omnia i910 - Former Samsung SCH i760 (2gb MicroSD) - Former Treo700W user USB720 WWan Device Rev.
