I have an Axim x51 (520 mhz) and have been trying various antivirus programs and haven't had much luck with them.

Bullguard BullGuard Mobile Anti-virus for Windows Mobile Pocket PC claims to work on Windows Mobile 2003 SE or Windows Mobile 5.0
https://www.bullguard.com/mobile/bul...pocket_pc.aspx

It installed alright. It seemd to be working alright but it was VERY slow to scan - escpecially mp3 files which could take several minutes each. The next day when I started my Axim I got a Notifcation Error Popup that the system couldn't execute Program Files\Bullguard\FileWatcher.exe - this made my system freeze and I had a lot of problems getting it started. I uninstalled it. However, the next day I also got this same Notifcation Error Popup (even though the program was removed). I tried to manually find this in the StartUP group but it wasn't there. I had to reset the machine and reinstall the settings that aren't restored to remove this.

Trend Micro™ Mobile Security v2.0 which claims to support "Dell Axim (various models)"

It installed OK but it blocked using the cradle sync/connection completely. Wireless worked fine. Removed.

The older PC-cillin for Wireless for Pocket PC Version 2 is from 2001.

The pattern file included with the program is version 795 and the file date is 2000 and file size is 168kb. However the update offered as latest pattern file here:

is version 351 with a file size of 93 kb and a date of 2004. Confused?

This program is free and works well and fast but is it usefull?

Anyone else have any experiance to share?
