Norton Antivirus for Pocketpc

Hello, I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with antivirus software for Pocketpc. Is it worth it for me to spend the money on it?

For now, I would say no. I'll wait until it becomes a rampant problem.

In addition, I don't want another program running in memory space. If things become really awful, i'll upgrade to 128meg and load an anti-virus program.

www.airscanner.com has FREE antivirus and firewall software for personal use.

it's small, easy to use, and has free virus updates. the AV has lots of neat utilities built in too, like a registry viewer and process manager. nice piece of software.

i noticed the word "norton" in your title...norton AV is evil...it crashed my desktop, then they had the nerve to start CHARGING to update the virus definitions...ug.

freeware AVs (like AVG for desktops) are so much better...
