Have you tried asking 'Simworks International Ltd'?

not sure about the 6600 as i've not used it, but try holding down the key
you normally use to bring up the main menu for a few seconds. This should
bring up a task manager type sidebar. Scroll to the antivirus icon and press
the 'c' key to close it. Then go to your prog in the apps folder and press
c on it, should delete.

I used to have this phone, I think I would have probably ended up doing a
soft format by entering *#7370# but all data will be lost. Or more drastic
hard-format, i.e resetting it completely to factory defaults and removing
all data by switching off the phone. Holding down green button, * button,
and '3' button, while holding these buttons, press the power button and
switch on the phone, when the message 'Formatting' appears on the screen,
release all of the buttons. Hopefully someone will have a better solution!

ChrisM's suggestion is a good one! Fortunately I can save you the
trouble as SimWorks monitors a lot of forums and I'm on the SimWorks
Support team (check verified email address).

It would appear that you have tried to install a pretty bad crack and
that the cracker corrupted something when trying to crack it.

To remove the application I recommend trying one of the following:

1. Restart your phone, holding down the pen key while the phone is
starting. This should prevent all auto-starting applications from
auto-starting, including SimWorks Anti-Virus. Once the phone has
finished starting up you should then be able to remove the application
via the Manager.

2. If that doesn't work for some reason, install TaskSpy and kill the
SimWorks process. This will stop the application and should enable you
to remove it via the Manager.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
SimWorks Anti-Virus Support.
