Juha-Matti Laurio writes "McAfee AVERT Labs Blog reports about a sample of a virus written for a programmable calculator TI-89. The blog entry continues that there is no AV software yet for calculators so protection can only be built on a PC. According to the author of this Proof-of-Concept type virus 'Gaara' it is world's first resident entry-point-obscuring (EPO) virus for TI89 Titanium calculators. It appears that Symantec has released a virus description document for this TIOS.Tigraa virus too."
