To remove SymbOS.Cabir:

1.Install a file manager program on the phone.
2.Enable the option to view the files in the system directory.
3.Search the drives, A through Y, for the \SYSTEM\APPS\CARIBE directory.
4.Delete the files CARIBE.APP, CARIBE.RSC, and FLO.MDL from the \CARIB directory.
5.Go to the C:\SYSTEM\SYMBIANSECUREDATA\CARIBESECURITYMANAGER directory.
6.Delete the files CARIBE.APP, CARIBE.RSC, and CARIBE.SIS.
7.Go to the C:\SYSTEM\RECOGS directory.
8.Delete the file, FLO.MDL.
9.Go to the C:\SYSTEM\INSTALLS directory.
10.Delete the file, CARIBE.SIS.

Note: You cannot delete the file CARIBE.RSC when the program is running. To kill app, smart launcher should be installed or other apps similar to it

If you cannot delete this file in steps 4 and 6, delete all the files that you can, restart the phone, and then delete the CARIBE.RSC file.

The virus copies itself to many hidden directories.

Also after trying on about 9 different phones, I concluded that you cannot send any app to the infected phone thru Bluetooth. It overloads the Rx of the phone, simply bombarding the Tx. Your bluetooth enabled PC will only detect the phone IP (not the phone name as saved on it) like 45 D4 8Y 9I 67 F6R. This way you cannot send anything to the phone thru Bluetooth.
