well,last week, i have connected my 96 with my office PC. those moment, my gallery, and message box got formatted. i have got shocked.
and after that, every one day after, my gallery is getting formatted.day before a day, i have took photos, whn i was checking those this day, magic, those vanished. ho hooo

i have just restored the factory settings.i am afraid to format hardly, where in my contact, there is my whole number about 800persons.

1. Take a backup of phone with latest nokia pc suite . It will backup everything including contacts , sms and calender etc.

2. Also synchronise your phone with outlook to make a second backup of contacts .

3. Format your card using a card reader . Fat32 and dont do quick format .

4. Format your phone using *,3,green key.

5. Insert the card in your phone and format it in your phone to be extra secure .

6. Restore ONLY contacts , calender and sms with pc suite.(not user files etc.)

If the problem persist change your mem card . AFAIK there is no harmful virus for s60v3 till now , so most probably its not virus.

Also s60v3 DONT NEED antivirus (as of now) . All they will do is slow your phone and kill your battery faster.
