Abstract— The threat of mobile viruses is important
problem that needs to be addressed in the near future.
There has been a lot of research conducted regarding
PC viruses and worms, but very little work has been
done concerning the same issues in the mobile
environment. As of now, mobile viruses have not
caused a big problem, however there is future
potential for more severe virus attacks that could
cause physical damage, denial of service, theft of data
or even monetary loss. The limited research that has
been done on mobile worm detection has taken the
approach of trying to discover viruses that have
already infected a device and had a chance to cause
damage.
