I was worried about the security of my Mobile phone so I looked into the antivirus and encryption software currently available. I went with Airscanner (Airscanner.com), which has different combo packages depending on what you’re looking for. They even have a 30 day trial period, which is great if you’re non-commital… but of course once I tried it I had to have it.

Truly truly i wrote today, we are in the process to errors and problems shifting paradigms. We are unable to combat desktops, viruses, worms, and Trojans, these epidemics are finding there ways to all the new technological innovations.

Solutions maybe the creations of protective shields by the OS and browsers producers, centralised active roles by all the mobiles telecommunications providers and centralised mobile users awareness.

We have to find solutions to many problems because the era of embedded systems utilisation is here and growing in magitudes.

in response to OSB,

You are joking right? Almost all new PDA phones are made with Windows CE in them. They are always connected to the Internet. Yes, it may be time to have Anti-Virus software on your PDA as stupid as it sounds.

Sounds like a fake to me.
It is such a difficult platform to exploit in terms of connectivity.
Pocket pcs are not as PCs always connected. It is not worth to consume that much precious space and memory, which can be easily spotted since the pda would be useless.

Does the McAfee PDA AV product stop this thing? Or does it just find it and tell you you are hosed?

The thing that most upsets me is that McAfee didn’t find it right to publish the URL of the website that is spreading the virus.

We have the right to know that both for not going there and also for warning our readers not to visit this site anymore.

So, are we saying here that customers who downloaded Google Maps from Google have this malware?

Or that someone repackaged Google Maps, added their malware, and redistributed it?
