There are no other names known for Commwarrior.N.

Explanation :

SymbOS/Commwarrior.N is a worm that operates on Symbian Series 60 devices. The worm is capable of spreading both over Bluetooth and MMS messages.

When Commwarrior infects a phone it will start searching for other phones that are within Bluetooth range and send infected SIS files to the discovered phones.

The SIS files that Commwarrior sends are randomly named, so that users cannot be warned to avoid files with any given name.

In addition to spreading over Bluetooth, Commwarrior will also read the user's local address book for phone numbers and start sending MMS messages containing the commwarrior SIS file to those numbers.

criptionCommwarrior.N is a close variant of Commwarrior.D. For more details, please see http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/commwarrior_d.shtml.
