Vodafone HTC MAGIC

According to Movil Zona (Spanish Technology Website) ~ 3000 memory cards supplied by Vodafone Spain were infected with the Mariposa bot client. A spoke person from Vodafone has told that this is a “local incident” and that they will provide the customers new memory cards. They have also offered to supply them with tools to restore the integrity of their devices.

Mariposa is not able to harm the Android smartphone itself , it only attempts to contact a command & control server when connected to a Windows PC. The virus should be detected by most up-to-date anti-virus solutions.
