Synopsis:
Redbrowser.A is a J2ME based Java midlet that pretends to be a WAP browser that offers free WAP web browsing by using free SMS to send/retrieve data. If the user installs Redbrowser, it will actually send SMS messages to a single, specific number which may cause SMS fees to the user.

Since Redbrowser's text is in Russian, it effectively is only a threat in Russian speaking countries since non-Russian speakers will not be able to understand Redbrowser's claim of free SMS messages, and thus install it.
