It's comfied. If u have up to 250 Whasapp contacts, start sending them message one by one. I'm sure sooner that u think, the infected ones will start delivering empty mgses and ur phone will catch the virus and start doing same. Faster still, if u r much of a doubting Thomas post ur No here now, let me send u a whasapp msg to infect u since mine is already infected.

Buhahahahahahahahaha
**Rapping** and you be balling like Ebola
Your energy like solar.. grin

Well, I haven't noticed it and none of my contacts has sent the virus to me, why not try scanning your phone with a good antivirus app? Might help..

Wow. Am even thinking of flashing my phone on monday. Since thursday night,my phone has been sending unauthorised sms,typing by itself,calling by itself,some buttons dont work, etc. I ve been wondering how virus entered a bb i bought just 3months ago. If i restart it,it will work well for some minutes and relapse. Could it be the same virus thing with urs? @op.
I'm sure it's the whasapp virus, u r still lucky urs works for some minutes. Some just blankout permanently.

after reading all these stories, I just kuku use droid wall deny my whatsapp internet access. I just upgraded my whatsapp yesterday but I can't risk hanging my phone. Whenever there is a new update that is virus less, I will grant it internet access again and update it.

Rubbish!!! Upgrading to the latest WhatsApp version is not the cause of this but those useless senseless messages you people keep forwarding to each other.

Someone coded a virus into message & forward it asking you to do same, receiving will not infect you but forwarding will
