Mystery surrounds PC-to-mobile virus

The Mobile Antivirus Researchers Association (MARA) said Monday it anonymously received the code, named “Crossover.” Microsoft Corp., whose software the virus reportedly affects, said Wednesday it is investigating the reports but has not heard of any customer complaints. [..]
