Virus or bug on Series 60 phone

I have noticed a new bug on my Nokia 6600. I am now unable to type
letters on my phone. I can only type numbers. So i am now unable to
search my contacts, write an SMS, entering a new contacts, etc. My
phone is now almost unusable! It is very embarassing!

I have tried to reboot, remove the MMC cards, uninstall a lot of
software, but nothing changed...

I have installed a few software downloaded on the net. Maybe the bug
is coming from a virus.

Anybody out there had that problem?

I saw that F-Secure made an anti-virus for symbian OS. But it seems to
work only with the Communicator. I there a great anti-virus software
available for the Nokia 6600?

Please help me!

Install an app such as FExplorer, then delete c:\system\system.ini and
reboot the phone.

Upon rebooting, you'll get a 'System Error' message - disregard this. Then
switch off your phone and turn it on again, and everything will be back to
normal.
