If in the term virus, we are talking about programs that install to your device invisibility from opening an email or visiting a webpage, then there are none for the PalmOS. There never have been either.

In terms of torjans, or programs that look like other programs but do something worse, there were only two programs that did such, and both required the downloading and using of software that is (slightly) legal to use on PalmOS devices. If you dont use a video game emulator, then you are of no risk.

In terms of maleware, there are none at this time, but that category of device disruption could be coming sooner to all connected devices like PDAs in 2006.

So relax, you are safe. And the even better part. If you create a document in Docs to Go, it doesnt have a virus in it, but if someone has a virus attached to a doc that you open, the visus will stay on the doc unless you change the format from MS Word to WTG format. Cheers
