Viruses for palms r still relatively rare, but........there's no time like the present to take preventive measures. B'cos a PDA has the ability to run programs, it can also run a virus.
McAfee's new Wireless Security Center has developed several virus protection programs for the palm. Subscribe or purchase and u get a full year of the wireless security center for only $29.95. A 10 day FREE trial of McAfee.com Wireless Security Center is also available.
When u subscirbe to McAfee's wireless security center, u will have access to several anti virus programs.
--Guard Dog For Palm runs on ur PDA i.e.(Palm III and higher and Palm OS 3.0 to 3.5). If a program attempts to make any sort of change to ur PDA, Guard Dog alerts u and asks if it should allow or prevent it.
--McAfee also has virus scan for HandHelds such as (Palmtops, Pocket PC, etc.). Virus scan for Palm OS scans the files on your palm whenever u HotSync with ur PC (Palm III and higher and Palm OS 3.0 to 3.5).
--MARS (McAfee.com Anti-virus Resident Scanner) protects ur Palm OS device from known Palm viruses and Trojans. The application resides on ur handheld so u can scan ur device at anytime i.e, after receiving data via infrared beaming, or from an infected PC or from a wireless modem. You must have HotSync Manager 3.0 0r the latest version.
