Actually, there have been a few viruses targeted at PDA's in the past. Some quick research on the internet will give the history. With the increased use of PDAs, and the sync'ing of them to desktops and servers, I can only imagine viruses becoming more of a problem in the future.

There is good antivirus software on the market that is free, and updates are provided as needed. I use Airscanner A/V on my PDA. I don't, however, bother with firewall software.
