    After putting a Prius to the test, a team of antivirus experts has concluded that cell phone viruses are unable to infect cars.

    F-Secure said rumors that mobile phone viruses could spread to cars via Bluetooth were erroneous, after technicians at the security firm failed to infect the onboard computer of a Toyota Prius with Cabir, which spreads by Bluetooth and infects handsets based on the Symbian operating system.
