Antivirus Software

I've asked the same thing but got no answer. From what I gather norton does offer an anti virus for PDA's but from what I've heard it can start to use quite a bit of storage space on the PDA. Also I guess most of the sync software scanes for viruses (just heard don't keep to that).

Hello All, The short answer is, Yes. I have a quick free 30-day virus scanner just for your PDA: F-Secure Anti-Virus v2.0 - only a little 17K program. I am unaware of any function that any AutoSync software available today has the ability to scan for viruses or worms. Just as you need separate scanning utility software on your PC to scan for viruses or worms, you also need it for your PDA's. With the continuing spread of viruses and worms via email, many media sources are encouraging you as a PDA user to be vigilant about virus protection for your PDA's. Recently I installed the suggested virus checking program on my Visor Prism called F-Secure Anti-Virus version 2.0. You can download a free 30-day evaluation copy at: http://www.F-Secure.com You can run the program periodically to check your PDA for any viruses. So far, I am unaware of any viruses that have spread via PDA's. ***WARNING*** (1)A common way that viruses/worms are spread in PC's is through email. Be sure to check/scan your emails with an Anti-Virus scan utility before downloading the emails to your PDA. (2) Be sure that when you are receiving any beamed programs or files, make sure that they come from a reputable source. There is a free 'hack' available that will disable your PDA's open beam receiving ability unless you turn it on. See: http://www.freewarepalm.com Remember: You need a 'hack' master program to run any hack. A few examples here are: * HackMaster * X-Master * TealMaster * EV Plug Set Most of these free 'hack' master programs can be found at: freewarepalm.com You never used 'hacks' on your PDA? Well, no problem. Hacks are just little 'plug-ins' that create different actions that the OS was not originally written to do. Nothing malicious or damaging, just more flexibility to use you PDA the way you want in some cases. Want more info on 'hacks' for your PDA?

BTW- I have used a Visor Prism for the last 3 years.
