SMS Virus?

[jwalley]

Last night I recived an SMS with 'Harry Potter' in the subject matter, it looked like just another junk text so I pressed ignore but since then I have been unable to open my SMS. Everytime I press the SMS icon it looks like it opens and then it closes by itself returning to the main icon page.

I have tried doing a soft resest but that makes no difference, every other function seems to be working fine. Anyone else expierienced a similar problem... what should I do to fix it?

the same thing happened to me.
what i did is delete the SMS.db from /private/var/root/Library/SMS. I lost all of my sms but it worked.

just delete your sms.db, there's a bug with certain sms formats.

Thanks for that, now being a newbie to the world of modding do I do this through the terminal?
