How many of you actually have an anti-virus or firewall program on your axim? Is the threat really there?

Tblove

You forgot the "none" catagory.Most will say "none".

I would vote "none" as well, as there aren't any real virus or spyware threats to WM devices yet. Once a real threat comes out, I think you'll see a flood of people rush to get this type of security.

I'm behind a hardware firewall/anti-virus/spam-blocker, etc: DLinks's SecureSpot. It's installed between my modem & router, and protects my entire home network. I haven't browsed on any other wireless networks, so it works for me. Someone mentioned iBoss/iPhantom as an option to SecureSpot.

None, the PocketPC is slow enough as is -- don't make it slower.

None - there is no point.

1 - there are no viruses or other 'nasty stuff' written for the PPC
2 - I use Memmaid and keep all extraneous 'stuff' cleaned off on a regular basis. I monitor my memmory and storage cards closely, so I know if somthing is getting copied on my ppc.
3 - Why slow down my PPC?
4 - If I want to spend $$ I will get some more games :)

My answer to this would be none. There's no need to have a firewall or antivirus for your pda at this point. I think it's overkill personally.

None, Almost all of my wifi use is at home and I am protected there. I only go to a small number of web sites, so unless aximsite starts using malware I will be fine.
