Warning MMS Exploit Released for Windows Mobile – No Patch Available

I think to date Windows mobile has been quite lucky in the area of viruses. I havent seen a great deal of "virus" around or heard too many stories apart from the odd few that have a virus from a game or application that has been tried to install. This is a warning that has had rumors on for the last few months, as quoted

""User only needs to view the message to trigger exploit.” So I would add, only view MMSs from trusted sources"

inparticular any MMS with the attachment MNotification.ind is to be looked out for and not opened, More info available here from Symantic.

whilst the warning doesnt show the effects of the virus (or exploit) im sure it wouldnt be very nice.
