The article said it was MS-Windows malware that was stored on the mass storage side of the phone's memory. The malware was harmless to the phone's internal OS. So it didn't have anything to do with it being a "web-based phone". It could have happened with a USB flash drive. There were some iPods that shipped with malware on their hard disks a few years back. One of them showed up here at %WORK%; set off the AV when someone plugged it in as a mass storage device. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
