Its always a good idea to keep your Bluetooth disabled at ALL times when not in use, only enable it when a freind or family member want to send you something.

Seconded, no need to have Bluetooth enabled all the time.

As far as disinfection goes some of these mobile virii can ben removed by performing a factory reset (you may loose contacts, messages etc) but more information as to the actual one you've got is needed to be sure. It will be called something like Velasco.sis, Lasco.sis or Cabir.sis etc.
