F-Secure and Symbian row over hype
Commwarrior alert reignites battle over mobile malware danger.

While F-Secure admit the worm has not as yet caused major problems, and seems unlikely to spread widely, Symbian fear hype over malware could damage their business and future development plans.
The debate follows accusations in recent weeks from CA that F-Secure were hyping the mobile threat to create a market for their mobile AV products. In a recent press release, F-Secure claimed to have discovered 57 new mobile threats in July alone.
