Trojan for Pocket PCs found!

[kahchong]

The world's first Windows CE backdoor Trojan virus - Backdoor.Bardor.A - has been discovered last week.
Once installed, the virus takes over the handheld system when it is restarted.

The backdoor only affects Arm CPU-based Pocket PC devices. Information security company Symantec recommends that compromised systems be reinstalled completely.
Users should also delete the file /Windows/StartUp/svchost.exe.

Kah Chong.

On a side note if you're interested, Symantec have already discovered this virus and have already updated their PPC virus definitions with this new trojan.
