Can someone recommend a good antivirus?

[IdkMYbffJILL]

I need a good antivirus for my PPC. Im really looking for one that is cheap but at the same time does the job. I was looking at Norton or Kaspersky. You can recommend others, thats what came to mind first.

Also, preferably one that has good updates for new viruses or what not, thanks.

I believe the vast majority still feel this is an unnecessary measure to take. But I have played with Norton and Trend Micro, both do what they advertise...Trend seems to have a memory leak or some sort of bad caching system for its realtime scan that eventually leaves only a trickle of usable RAM.

(Re)Enable security\policies and you will be pretty safe as long as you exercise good judgement with what you download and install.

IMHO without doubt

Symantec AntiVirus(TM) for Handhelds -- Corporate Edition Version 3.5

i've always been curious as to the need for ppc antivirus software. i once installed an app but i eventually removed it as i never really found the use for this. on that subject, has anyone actually gotten a virus in their ppc? i read somewhere in this forum that the software used by our ppcs is not as susceptible to virus attacks as compared to say, desktops or laptops. i've never had any kind of virus attack (or maybe there is one in my ppc and i just don't know it =) despite my web surfing, outlook, activesync, opera, mms, etc, in the past 5 or 6 years that i've used a ppc i've never encountered a virus.

so with that, i'd appreciate if someone who actually experienced having a virus attack their ppc describe what happened. i mean, symptoms, does your ppc hang, is there like a window that pops up, etc.

cheers

current virus's cant jump from pc's to pda's
or from symbian to wm or iphone or linux flavours

so the pda base is still too small for people to bother aiming
their viral cannon at us if you ask me

If you ask me I would say ZenOK Free Antivirus (http://freeantivirus.zenok.com/) no doubt so far the best software I've ever used to protect my PC against spyware.

These days its all about Avast (and its free for home use!)
Its got the most accurate virus catches I've seen yet
and by accurate I mean it catches the bad stuff with little to no false negatives.
But possibly my favorite part is its nice on system resources. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people put something huge like Norton on a slow pc only to get viruses anyway. Then ask me to fix it. Once Avast is install they say, "Its faster than ever, how'd you do that?"
