Hi Somil,

>    I agree BTH operations cannot be altered by any virus / worm (maybe they can we haven't explored yet) but virus / worm can definitely use BTH in some malicious way . Pls checkout this article http://slashdot.org/articles/04/06/15/1244248.shtml?tid=126&tid=1722. 

I was aware of that virus, but this virus can be also work over IrDA or
with OBEX over TCP/IP, WAP etc ;)

A Bluetooth protocol stack btw can't be infected by a virus. You can
exploit it of course, but how should a virus survive? It is not an
operating system.

Regards

Marcel
