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.
