Thinking about purchasing the Airscanner Mobile Antivirus WM5 Pocket PC. Any thoughts, concerns, alternatives?

I am using Trend Micro Mobile Security on my phone and like it very much - it does not require much memory and works well. I haven't heard of virus on phones yet but the amount that I use the web I didn't want to be surprised by anything.

you wont get a virus on your phone.. sprint's firewall detects and blocks all new and old viruses before it gets to your phone... the only reason to have an anti virus software on your treo is if you open email that contains a virus.

One of the many reasons for using a Treo PDA is to have the option to open emails whilst on the run - I have a couple of private and then also business email addies being accessed all the time - and doing a bit of procrastinating here as hoped to find what others were using on 700wx to save me having to do the leg work looking for one.
Seems I've come to the right place thanks to Darren and More Hours

Spiderman - Don't assume that I'm on a Sprint network and they'll catch the virus for me as I'm with Verizon Wireless and don't know what the block first and I do read a good bit of email with attachments so would rather be safe than sorry.

S'elcome, AKG, and I just pass along what I learn from others so don't give me too much credit here.

Isn't that what we all should do here so we learn from each other and help each other?

Darren... I use Trend Miro PC-Cillan on my laptop and I noticed some new window that mentions a few different items that are new and I think one of them is the mobile thingy. I don't think I know where my instruction booklet is... if ya don't mind sharing....how do I go about using it on my Treo?
