Most people who work with computers have heard of how viruses can damage or destroy equipment and files, but some viruses can infect cellphones, too.Teenagers are the most vulnerable(易受攻击的)because of the ways they use their phones.
“My friend has a joke service.Every day, she gets a different joke,” said Niki Lamontagne, a cellphone user.
“Instead of jokes, I received messages like‘Tell me your birthday’,”said Presley Underwood, a 7th-grader.
If teenagers are not downloading jokes, it will be a song or picture, or the hottest new games.That’s how most phone viruses are spread.
“It will say ‘Download’, and if I click on it and it will come to me five minutes.Nothing really happens.I mean I get to play the games without knowing that I may get viruses,”said Darius Assin, a junior in a high school.
Most people do no know that cellphones are vulnerable to viruses.KPRC Local Two recently told government security leaders that a wave pf viruses spreading across Asia and Europe was on its way to cellphones in the US.Now an anti-virus firm is tracking eight different terrible cellphone bugs.Some viruses spread through the list of phone numbers which people keep in their phones.Houston computer security firms are preparing themselves for the attack.
Daniel Areemit of Timeer Networking said a cellphone user would think that he or she was just receiving a message.“Oh, this is a very cool picture.They click and download it.Then, their phones get infected,”Areemit said.
Some viruses can drain a cellphone user’s minutes, make long-distance calls at the user’s expense or steal pictures and e-mails.But one virus, called the Commwarrior, is spreading through the text message, which is a way of communicating for many teenagers.
The smarter phones or newer phones that use Bluetooth technology are the most vulnerable.Experts suggest turning off Bluetooth when it’s not in use.When it comes to materials for downloading or messages, experts say users should treat them like those on their home computers-don’t click on them or answer them if unsure, even if it looks as if they are sent by a friend.

Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver.The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
Thirty years have passed, but Odland can't get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman's kind reaction.She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland,“It's OK.It wasn't your fault.”When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson:You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
Odland isn't the only CEO to have made this discovery.Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up.It's hard to get a dozen CEO's to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule.They say how others treat the CEO says nothing.But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like,“I could but this place and fire you,”or“I know the owner and I could have you fired.”Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson.He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management.
“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,”Swanson says.“I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”

Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains.Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed:where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore.In any case, what would we have sailed by landing?The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way.So we stayed in the boat, hoping we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.
We lived on fish, caught with home-made net of string(we had no hooks), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water.As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience; perhaps sea fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless.After eating my raw fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice-cream.In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle, ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream.
As for water, there was a choice:we could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst.We drank the water.Men who had just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water.In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.
One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us.We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time:we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again.
