Synopsis:
Fontal is a malicious trojan for the Symbian OS that installs corrupt Font files onto the device to disable it upon next reboot. Fontal also damages the device's Application Manager so that Fontal cannot be uninstalled, and no new applications can be installed.
Fontal installs three files onto the device:
\system\apps\appmngr\appmngr.app
\system\apps\kill sadam\kill sadam.app
\system\apps\fonts\kill sadam font.gdr

|
The first appmngr.app file is a dummy, non-functioning binary that replaces the system's default application manager. If the infected device is rebooted, Fontal will force the device to be stuck on the startup, and thus cannot be used.
