While the Pocket PC is in the cradle and connected couldn't we use the antivirus software from our PC's to search the Pocket PC? Since a user can tell the program what drive to scan, couldn't we just choose the "Mobile Device" drive?
If it would work, it would help save RAM, Storage Space, etc...
Thanks..

Wow, a 4 year old thread revival!
But, the reason you don't use a Desktop PC's antivirus scan is the same reason you don't prescribe antibiotics for someone's chest cold; they're completely different beasts, and a virus that works on a PC wouldn't affect a Pocket PC any more than a virus that infects fish would normally affect a human. You could scan for desktop PC viruses which may be harbored on a file... but you wouldn't catch something that'd kill a Pocket PC.
