SMS Anywhere forwards incoming and outgoing SMS messages between mobile phones.
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus detects this program with default settings.
A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:
Check for the latest database updates
First check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.
Submit a sample
After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.
Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.
Exclude a file from further scanning
If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.
Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
SMS Anywhere is a Symbian S60 application designed to forward SMS messages from one phone to another.
Legitimate uses for SMS Anywhere are clearly defined on the website of Wireless Labs Technologies and illegal use of the application is not overtly advertised. It is not aggressively marketed as a spy tool. We consider SMS Anywhere to be Riskware. Use of the application is not malicious if the owner of the phone has decided to install it.
To install SMS Anywhere on a phone with F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus, you should first set the scan mode to manual. Then install the SMS Anywhere application. When Real-time scanning is re-enabled, SMS Anywhere will be detected and quarantined. Process the quarantined items and release the SMS Anywhere files. The application will then be added to the scanner's exclusions.
