I haven't seen anything that indicates antivirus is even needed for Pocket PC's. Viruses written to run on PC's don't run on PPC, and there have been a grand total of two viruses written to run on PPC, both of them Proof-of-Concept. An antivirus program running on your PPC will use memory and system resources that would otherwise be running your programs smoothly.
I haven't heard of anybody indicating that it is actually a good idea to run an antivirus program on Pocket PC.
So, in summary, no, it's not a good program for AV on PPC, even though it's good on your desktop PC.
