If computers can get viruses, can cell phones also?

anything with its own memory can in my opinion .. somthing could screw the bios or firmware up for sure ..

Yes but not as common yet as there is less money in it



if a phone has an operating system and memory then you could create a virus for it.

Cell Phones don't get viruses because they dont run on an operating system. However phones that has windows mobile and other hi-tech phones can get infected.

The Symantec Page Explains a bit more
yes, and also media players like mp3 and ipod
Hmmm some interesting ones there....if you look it up the only known Cellphone virus EVER is just a few weeks ago and it's only for the iPhone it's not actually a virus though someone can send it to you in a picture message and if you open it. it works like a trojan they can monitor your calls and even turn on the mic in your phone while it's in your pocket and listen to everything thats going on as long as your in service



If there is others i would love to see or hear about them..seems everyone just says YES THERE IS but the dont want to talk about them lol
The first known cell-phone virus appeared in 2004 and didn't get very far. Cabir.A infected only a small number of Bluetooth-enabled phones and carried out no malicious action -- a group of malware developers created Cabir to prove it could be done. Their next step was to send it to anti-virus researchers, who began the process of developing a solution to a problem that promises to get a lot worse.
