Microsoft Windows CE Trojan

 

We are aware of reports of a trojan that affects Microsoft Windows CE. This trojan disables Windows Mobile application installation security.
The trojan may take any or all of the following actions on the mobile device:

*      Spreads via seemingly legitimate application installation files

*      Installs as an autorun program on the memory card

*      Installs itself to the device when an infected memory card is inserted

*      Protects itself from deletion by copying itself back to disk

*      Replaces the browser's homepage

*      Allows unsigned applications to install without warning

We encourage users to take the following preventative measures to help mitigate the security risks:

*      Install anti-virus software on the mobile device, and keep its virus signature files up-to-date.

*      Use caution when downloading and installing applications.
