i just get birthday present pda hp from my dad...
and with curiousness may i know did windows mobile hp have to use anti virus just like windows computer???
and what anti virus is popular been use

all Windows operating system sure got virus one....including WM LOL

Eset nod32 has antivirus solution for Windows Mobile too. The chances of anyone infected with virus on their PDA is thinner than paper.

Hmm, You even get a thinner chance to get a windows update for WM.

SO Guess it is pretty safe from virus and hacks and torjans and whatever sick people make to destroy the universe.

better no to install any anti-virus cause after installed ur phone will become very slow

i use Kaspersky....
rather than see virus...
it most of the time help me filter message....from unknown sender...
and prompt to bypass, or whitelist, or blacklist...
but last time did barred a virus...cant remember wat liao...

i think your sd card kena virus a few dozen times ady(if you keep plug it into ur desktop). you pda oso wont kena.

most virus are made for windows platform. but WM seems not so prone mah....

agree,

its not yet dangerous, last time I install av mobile the known list virus for PDA is 16 ...

im not sure is it virus or not.. my dopod 818 keep on sending a message without me realizing it.. i only noticed when the recipient inform me about the repeating message, more than ten times sent!

i check my sms tree, and i found the culprit message in the outbox, and try to delete it.. but still cannot.. that one message was very persist, just like a virus lol

afraid to lose more on my credit, i determined to hard reset my pda, but for the last resort, i try to clear all my text messages.. and it works!


anyone experience the same problem? is this a virus or wat?

wah this forum is good for newbie PDA owner...
i also at first time using PDA's wanna install Anti Virus... but through my survey and askiing lots of PDA guru...

then i realise...that install it can make PDA system going slower...

but if some one can update wat is the current WM virus...
then i think its good for all WM user to know...jus for precaution.

the virus update mostly dont work or LOL (no update),

ther's not much of an update anyway...

since wm virus production is like.... so so so so slow....

mayb in the near future when the whole street of people is using pda..
n when wm usage is at large...

no worry, that time our pda processor and ram will same spec with current pc , then no issue for installing an anti virus will cause ur pda slow...

just a imagination..

haha if pda spec will be the same like pc our pocket money sure koyak lorr

not really, it might be cheaper and cheaper if it is popularize. same go to laptop
off topic...

where is baronic?

no worries for those viruses..
unless you're a really2 important guy..
and lots of people want to hack your personal info through email..
actually, even PC is hard to get virus if you use it properly.
virus came in from either internet or external devices..
usually from live messengers, emails and lots of them are from downloadsm, and some unsecured websites.
external device, too..like thumbdrive.

for emails, i think the email provider already put the spam into a special folder.
messengers, well, you know that its a virus from the way the text sounds..
downloads, i dont think you gonna install any limewire in your PDA..so no worries.
Bluetooth, well, you can choose not to receive any files from unknown users..

just dont worry. you worry too much and you'll become old faster

heh
if the economy around the world is smooth then it will be popularize

PDA is poular, but people still dont fully use it. so, why waste your money for something you dont really use?
sometimes u can see very2 rich people use cheap normal phone, because they dont see the importance of spending thousands on a blackberry or PDA.
why email when you can do voicecalls?

some just love the functions and some really use it, some just love the look and some just like to show off..

it's up to user's preferences..

But what bout GPS and WIFI??
Thats really helpfull.

ok....back to topic...
I think its quite hard for WM to get virus...
Get virus also...can always hard reset what!
Its not like ur gona loose everything..
It has what u already have on ur pc!
Just remember to back up everything on the pc n ul be save!

but lately... PDA is getting more n more popular.

n more n more dedicated PDA retailer shops....

though.... most newbie PDA users... jus cant really get use to the usage of PDA. then they convert back to normal phones....

and they jus stick with symbian OS.
