Abstract
A method, device and system restrict and prevent virus attack and malicious software to a wireless communication device from a pairing attempt by another wireless communications device. A switch is included in a transmission path coupling a first device to a second device, wherein the second device is attempting to pair with first wireless communications device. A detector coupled to the transmission path, detects an address of the second wireless communications device in a pairing communication protocol between the first and second devices. A counter coupled to the detector counts the pairing attempts of the second device. A compare circuit compares the pairing attempts to a selected number N. The compare circuit signals the switch to open when the number of attempts equals or exceeds the number N, breaking the connection, thereby preventing the first device from receiving virus attacks and malicious software.
