Okay, just for fun I put Norton anti virus on my Treo 600. I was curious to see if anyone else has tried it or any other type of ant virus software for your phone. I know it may seem pointless to some, if not many, to have it.

I don't use the Norton Version, but I do use PC-Cillin for Pocket PC, which seems to work fairly well.

Its useless... just takes up space! My Kaspersky Antivirus scans my Pocket PC everytime I sync it with my PC! Its much better than the rest and they also were the ones that detected the buletooth cellphone virus! http://www.kaspersky.com/

Yeah, well I shouldn't have made it so specific... I meant any type of anti virus software.
Edit: Fixed the first post to a generalization.

Err, have there been any pocketPC viruses even reported (in the wild)?
Seems to me for 99% of people they would have to come in through an email attachment, or through wireless web browsing. Fairly narrow target audience for virus writers.

There are 4 for the Palm OS that I'm aware of. Not sure about PPC. You could also get a virus from the software you install (Depending on where you get it from).
