Summary

Trojan:SymbOS/Fontal.C is a SIS file trojan that installs a corrupted Font file onto the device, causing it to fail to start at the next reboot.

Removal

Technical Details

Fontal.C also disables the application manager, application installer and messaging applications, which make its uninstallation more difficult.

If a phone is infected with Fontal.C, it must not be rebooted as the trojan will prevent the phone from booting again. If the phone is rebooted, it will try to boot, but will be forever stuck on phone startup and cannot be used without reformatting the phone.
