Virus on Nokia 6600?

I did a flash upgrade at an official Nokia club center in Athens.
I also bought a piece of software they called "unlimited video camera"
I lost all my contacts and the phrase myviruz appears as the only
contact listing...
This sounds kind of suspicious to me...
Anybody have any info?
I found some sites in Czech (or Hungarian - I can't tell) that mention
this.
Is my contact list gone forever?
(This is the OFFICIAL NOKIA CLUB that gave this to me!)

when you have a firmware update you will lose all the info stored on
the phone, like re installing windows on your computer.

Well...
Here is what I found out:
That ETI Camcorder v3.1 is a malware program. which will destroy all
sorts of things on your phone. distributed mainly on IRC. It will
delete the contacts, calendar, change various settings and make a few
programs unusable.

One would say that I was a fool to download and run programs from IRC.

Only problem is: a shop that claims to be an official Nokia Club shop
SOLD this program to me for 20 euro!

It erased stuff from the card.

How do I report those bastards?

It's in Czech! I had to find a friend who speaks Czech to translate it
for me.

But it checks out! The minute I erased it, things went back to normal!
