Are there any viruses for the Pocket PC (yet)? The only mobile virus I heard of was the one for Symbian phones... But i am sure they will come sooner or later to the PPC as well.

I say no need for it right now.

there was a proof of concept virus made some time ago, but when infected it asks the users if it can run something like "i'm a virus will you let me run?" I'm not sure if there are anymore yet, I dont think they damage the hardware so a hard reset should remove them anyway. Basically no I dont think there needed........... YET! be careful though using your ax to transfer data from one pc to another can transfer viruses!
