this are the details..
ang name ato kay Skull.B Trojan Worm dw..
ako lng e copy and paste ako na search ha.

Skulls is a malicious SIS file trojan that will replace the system applications with non-functional versions, so that all but the phone functionality will be disabled.
The Skulls SIS file is named "Extended theme.SIS", it claims to be theme manager for Nokia 7610 smart phone, written by "Tee-222".
If Skulls is installed it will cause all application icons to be replaced with picture of skull and cross bones, and the icons don't refer to the actual applications any more so none of the Phone System applications will be able to start.
This basically means that if Skulls is installed only the calling from the phone and answering calls works. All functions which need some system application, such as SMS and MMS messaging, web browsing and camera no longer function.
If you have installed Skulls, the most important thing is not to reboot the phone and follow the disinfection instruction in this description.
Installation to system Skulls SIS file does not contain any malicious code as such, it is just a Symbian Installation file that installs critical System ROM binaries into C: drive in with exact same names and locations as in the ROM drive.
Symbian operating system has a feature which causes any file that is in C: drive replace file in ROM drive with identical name and location.
The application files installed by Skulls are normal Symbian OS files extracted from the phone ROM. The malicious part is in the AIF (Application Info and icon) file which comes with the applications. Instead of correct AIF file the Skulls SIS will install AIF file that has Skulls and crossbones as icon and instead of real application it will point to nowhere.
Spreading in Extended theme.sis
Payload Replaces built in applications with non-functional ones.
