Hard reset your device.

Program memory being reduced after some time, is something usual in WM devices. and a SIS file, can not harm your device, cuz you're not running on Symbian OS!

if you receive files via BT while it's off, then as vlodeck pointed, hardreset your device. if the problem persisted then there's something wrong either with your ROM or your hardware.

The fact that you receive the file and that eTrust alerts you about it means nothing in this case, except that your friend needs to get his phone cleaned.

A virus is a computer program just like any other. To harm your phone this program must run. To do so it has to be in a format your operating system (Windows mobile) can recognize and load.

Because this is a sys and not exe file windows mobile can not read it so there is no way it can run on your device and harm it.

One point: you might want to keep you bluetooth off "discoverable" so other phones can not see it.

Another point: if you use google you will find several anti-virus programs for PPC including Caspersky.
Non of them do anything other then slow down your device because they have no virus database (nothing to put there). They can only try and guess that something is a virus and they can be wrong.

This isnt a Virus for PPC!!!

Its a Symbian OS Virus, but your Virusscanner know this Virus. No Windows Mobile can start or use this Files.

A lot of Nokia Handys use Symbian. Hard Reset them!

You've solved your problem not because that you have changed your ROM, it is likely that your new ROM (which you think solved your problem) has the bluetooth and/or bluetooth discoverable switch off by default. You could have solve the problem by just switching these off yourself without resolving to hardreset/flashing.

The 'virus' maybe be attacking your PPC.. but the most it will do is just.. sit there and do nothing. It is a file that is not executable in your PPC and hence it is as good as just a file you can keep. I'm pretty sure your low memory issues arent directly caused by the 'virus', rather probably it is in your mind, OR, the bluetooth find transfer engine is being hogged up the massive send request.
