Washington - The first virus attacking hand-held personal digital assistants (PDAs) using the Palm operating system has been detected on the Internet, software companies reported.
Experts called the new bug, reports of which surfaced on Monday, a "Trojan horse" virus that deletes applications on the Palm operating system, but poses little threat to computer-users. Software firms said the bug was inserted in pirated software purporting to emulate a Nintendo Gameboy on Palm PDAs.
