Fontal - You Can Loose Data on Your Cell Phone
Fontal installs corrupted font file into a cell phone and as a result the cell phone will fail to start at next reboot.
It means that the cell phone infected with Fontal.A must not be switched off before desinfection!
If you switch off your phone, then you have to reformat it; this will result in the loss of all data on the cell phone.
The another problem is, that Fontal.A can damage the application manager so it can't be uninstalled and also new applications can't be installed before the cell phone is disinfected. In the other words - if you don't have an antivirus software already installed, you are in big troubles.
