Internet Security?
I was just wondering if surfing the web is as secure as on my PC. Because when I am on a Site with extreme security like paypal it shows a little "lock" icon in the bottom right hand corner, but it is not displayed on my PDA, is it still as secure or not?

Hi,

yes it is still secure - if you're on the PayPal site for example, you can tap View - > Properties and you'll see that the encryption strength is 128 bit.

Also, as a general rule, always make sure (pocket pc or desktop) that you see "https://" as opposed to "http://" when you're on a site that's supposed to be secure.

Happy browsing !
