(REQ) Anti Virus ?

[ox2pacxo]

I am using a htc touch pro. Just wondering, is it possible for the phone to be infected by virus? Earlier on there was a trojan on my pc and it stopped the pc from detecting touch pro when i connect it through usb port. it could only read as a removable drive but no longer shows me the screen that lets me choose between active sync and disk transfer. the option to let me choose is still on though, but the screen wont appear when i connect to my pc.. so, any antivirus for the phone? {p.s ive removed the trojan from my pc too}

WOW... Don't scream so loud, we are not blind...;)

Fact is that the chance of coming acros a virus on a PDA is too small for me to put up with stupid device slowing software.

I once installed Bull Guard on my ppc (HTC Touch) but after the trail period ended it was next to impossible to remove again. Even with the help of the Bullguard people.

My advice: Don't bother

are you nuts.not a good idea to piss off a mod.:)

[livefastdiefun87]

haha vaderthedog you aint gonna last long on this forum speaking to MODS liek that

haha vaderthedog you aint gonna last long on this forum speaking to MODS liek that
hmm."no man should live in fear..for a man is just a man"

first point.this is a forum to discuss and share knowledge on ppc devices,its not beebo...save the bitchin for there plz maadam !.....

secondly i did not insult the moderator,tnyynt...he is a respected member of the forum who has contributed several applications/contributions...i merely said he should do more research...no insult in that.

thirdly...i am someone commonly called"a darkside hacker" or a "black hat" (a very famous one in fact!) so creating multiple accounts in forums is standard practice.ALSO..IM NOT SHOUTING..I ALWAYS WRITE LIKE THIS.

fourthly...are you mad...windows mobile virus is A serious problem..a ppc is based on windows therefore virus writers need only change the code slightly to affect windows mobile,"they" dont because its not seen as "worthwhile" although some do,primarily to target buisness sector ppc users to gain access to thier work networks to steal !

If you would have read the question on post #1 with attention, as well as my answer to that question, you would have known, before putting me to research, that I was saying the exact thing that this Microsoft report (http://www.microsoft.com/protect/computer/viruses/mobile.mspx) sais:
Important: Currently, we are not aware of any viruses that can be transferred from your laptop or your desktop to your Windows Mobile-based device.


Now, should I sent you, "matey", to research?

[adempozhari]

he can also be "black hat" ... i am a bit confused.... can you be "darkside hacker" and "black hat" in the same time or you have to log out ?????

:D:D:D

I used to have Eset... but this crap real-time scan slows down your mobile big time. You know what they say: Safe sex is bad sex. :)
