Maybe it helps... If not, I guess you will have to hack your phone and run the Mobile Cleaner app, or try cleaning junk with Netqin (see the comments below)... Or reinstall the software as a last resort.

MdN, 21 Sep 2013Well done. :-) Scan your PC just in case you picked something up.
No idea why you'd get tha... moreAha! Finally got the link at the bottom to go to the site after umpteen attempts! It would start downloading then stop before the page comes up. It finally opened to NetQin Web Page. On the page, there is a description of “Symbian Virus” among other things (including links to android, iphone & other viruses).
Name: s.expense.ClearLog.b
Found date: 2013-07-22
Tracking: download: from internet ;-)
Major risk: Fee consume
Warning level:
Then there is a description of how it affects your phone (which you gave). I’m not clear on: “Meanwhile the applications are fail to uninstall which leads to mobile risks”. Viruses are rogue applications? I never thought of them in that light. Then there is a link to: “Download latest antivirus software to get your phone protected now”. I tried to download it but nothing happened and the page disappeared. It may be easier to get it on the PC. So now, it looks self-explanatory. It looks more like, “Danger, pothole ahead.”
“Scan the PC” – well unfortunately, that is all it is doing. Scanning itself alone :-/. There is no option to scan any device like the N8. I gave it a full scan and thankfully, it is clear. Most important, the PC is once again “protected” with Windows Defender (which was what had refused to come back on). I was wondering, if I attach the N8 and give the PC another full scan, maybe it will scan the phone too, as it is attached to the PC. You think it is worth a try? Well, the PC has only the security that it came with, which is Microsoft Security Essentials. Maybe I should install some other security system as well – like Avira that you mentioned or McAfee (if there is any free version :-).
This week, I’ll definitely have to go and get a pre-paid debit card to get stuff on line for my N8. The first thing I’ll buy is that YouTube Downloader Pro by KM Software. But honestly, I like to watch the scenes of the You tube downloads. The reproduction is so GREAT on the N8 screen. You know my favourite song? Well I found it with a lovely sunset beach scene and I find it so soothing. Then You raise me up by Celtic Woman (should be women) has really fabulous background colours that look fantastic on the N8 screen too. Only Robin Mark’s Revival is real drab, but the lyrics so reflect society and he sings so powerfully. Yeah, I real like his voice :-)! Have to look for some more – lots more because I’ve gotten greedy now. I’ll top them off with one of your black metal samples but I’ve a feeling I’ll have to wring your arm for that :-D. I solved my guitar string problem. I used nylon fishing line for the 2nd string and took off the 4th from my old guitar. I’m sure it will pop tomorrow, but I’m hoping it will hold out for the hour. And I use a pick, not my finger nails :-D. All we need is a lively strum because we are a rhythmic people. You can take the deadest song and put a lively beat and everybody is happy – and that is what counts. Hope you enjoyed your walk and rest.

No idea why you'd get that alert, but are you offered an action to choose? Like, delete, block, quarantine, anything in the options or after a long press? I never tried NetQin so I'm not familiar with it.
Ah, nylon strings? Never really had those, I have normal strings on my acoustic. I don't like the idea of growing my nails to play classical guitar, and they are in the way when playing other instruments, especially bass, that one I play with my fingers.
You can download mp3 from YouTube only, without the video, too. You need an app called YouTube Downloader Pro by KM Software.
Off to rest, had a long walk with a friend and also had to fight off her kid as he wanted to play games on my N8 and couldn't stop bugging me about it. The first (and last!) time he tried playing he dropped it on the floor and after that, my N8 is a "no go area" for him. Just reminded me why I hate when people touch my things. :-/

MdN, 21 Sep 2013There's one Private folder on each drive and one on your memory card. ;-) When you access the ... moreOK. I went back into NetQin. When it opens up, it says, “Your phone is safe”.
Then I tap “scan” and select Full Virus Scan. So, I get a dual engine scan. It scans over 11,826 of God alone knows what! I see - Threats found: 0, throughout the entire process. At the end, a new screen comes up: No threats found, below which are a multitude of things in the phone which are given the all clear with 5 green stars each. So the scan shows nothing is amiss.
Now when I go into “Update virus DB”, there is a big green circle with a white tick in it (which I think is an all clear). There is a box to allow you to tap to update the DB. In the second half of the screen is the Security Alert with the information on the virus. Now how do I interpret that? Like, “Danger, pot hole ahead”? Or: “Hey! You’re already in the pothole!” Well, to find that virus (if it is there) is like finding a needle in a haystack. So, I don’t think I will even attempt it. 11,826 is a hugely intimidating figure. But the investigation was interesting. So, I am resting that and going back to the PC problem tomorrow. Funny that NetQin works smoothly on Anna and not on Belle. Your question is encouraging. Maybe NetQin does not offer to delete because there is nothing to delete? Dear God! I hope so! Please let it be so!!! No location is given either.
My PC is working on Windows 7. I don’t know what Anti-virus is on it. I just follow the instructions and go around in circles sometimes. But I know that the malware protection is “off” although I did not turn it off – and I can’t get it to go back on and as well, I can’t get it to scan. It keeps saying “Out of date”. I mean, the PC is working but I have some discomfort about it. Your guitar strings don’t pop because you are using steel, lucky you. I can’t use those on my classical guitar. At the moment, I have no replacements and I’ll have to buy a whole set just to get two strings. Dunno what will happen on Sun. Somebody bought a set of steel strings for me in error. Maybe I’ll just use the two – temporarily. Oh shucks! I don’t know why I even considered recording You Tube songs. Habit, I guess. They sound so GREAT as a video download, especially with headphones. Way to go for me now :-). I'll holler if I need help with the PC but I've had enough for now.

Anonymous, 20 Sep 2013Uhm! Where is Private folder again???There's one Private folder on each drive and one on your memory card. ;-) When you access the phone via PC you should at least see the one on H: and I: drives. I guess your PC has to have "Show hidden files and folders" enabled. I can access them via Xplore too, and via MyExplorer but not via the default file manager. Anyway, don't bother, there's 5525 files and 796 folders inside "private" on my H drive. Doesn't NetQin offer to delete it? Or, when you scan, show where it is located? I'm not sure here as I only used an antivirus to hack my phone, which is still one of the funnier things about Symbian.
What Windows version and antivirus are you using? I just tried scanning the "private" "sys" and "system" folders on my H drive (just for a test, there are way more folders) with Avira and it worked. No detections, as I expected. I wonder how would I even get a virus when I mostly download images, videos or zip/rar files using Opera Mini or, rarely, UC Browser, and I expect their servers to have some protection too (they are both proxy browsers). Actually this is why I even prefer downloading via phone, let someone else take care of viruses If I visit some suspicious sites out of curiosity. >:-)
Well done. :-) I play black metal and my strings are 7-8 years old, but you manage to break two in one day. I guess you're playing something more violent. Scary lady! :-D Actually I don't think I EVER broke a string. :-) I guess with 2 down and 4 to go it's time to get a whole new set? First, just relax and wait for the bad times to go, can't be more than 3-4 days :-) Right, I missed one episode of the series I'm following, but it's on YouTube too. Downloaded while I was typing this, then to my N8 and then off to find a comfortable position. Hmmm, I don't want my brain replaced but I really wish I could defragment it from time to time. :-/

I’ll look in Private Folder but I would not know how to identify it because I’m sure it will not be waving a red flag for me. You know, at first I wondered if “data” had referred to your personal data on the phone or the data you bought.
I am working on my PC too and getting depressed by the hour over a security issue which I seem unable to resolve. I tried scanning the phone with the PC as you suggested but the scan is not coming up. I read where Microsoft is having some security problems and issued an emergency fix with a permanent fix to follow. I don’t know if there is any connection. And to compound matters and throw me further off the bend, I took a few minutes to take my mind off things and work on my “give back” hobby and “pop”, pause, “pop” - 2 guitar strings gone, one after the other, no doubt from overworking last weekend. At least they did not embarrass me then. When it rains it pours so have some coffee. I’m surviving on that these days. Interesting article on the batteries, but I am not letting that worry me right now. The minute I detect problems with mine, I’ll just go and have it replaced. I think everybody would prefer replaceable batteries because sealed batteries are real inconvenient. Pity they don’t have replaceable brains too, after all, it is all electrical :-).

I just Googled your virus name, yep, "The virus will automatically and frequently connect to the Internet which causes data loss. Meanwhile the applications are failed to uninstall which leads to mobile risks." Oh well. Do you have any idea where it is located? Probably one of the zillion folders in the "Private" folder. It obviously IS a Symbian virus, or maybe something that remained from some app. Faulty-app? Whats-app? Pirate-app? Who knows. :-) You probably didn't pick it up from the internet. I hope you can get rid of it. I never really looked into all this antivirus stuff, all is working well and I'm having enough to worry about with the antivirus on my PC right now. Looks like last night I somehow switched Web Protection off and only left Real-Time Protection. That's what you get when you're totally tired and sleepy, which is the reply to your first question. :-)
Btw, we were talking about batteries. Check this article out, and the poor N8 in the comments section: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/flow/item/18407_Replaceable_batteries_again_ba.php
