In this modern age of technology, there are always those who try to cheat at what they do or damage what is not theirs. Enter anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-adware . . . etc. software And now we have firewalls for our mobile devices.

• Wide-ranging notification and logging functions
• Protection against denial of service (DoS) and SYN scan attacks
• Protection against known and unknown mobile phone viruses, worms and trojans
• Seamless protection for Wi-Fi, UMTS, GPRS, Bluetooth and USB ports

The price is $35.95 and there is a 10-day free trial available.

I had always wondered if there was a mobile firewall to keep me protected!
The utility that comes with my router always faithfully reported the name of my Axim. Not sure I want to share that around the globe.

Hmm, interesting. Wonder if Zone Alarm will jump on the bandwagon!

P.S. That isn't a real licence key, is it?

Despite the alarming number of PDA hackers hiding at each hotspot just waiting to pounce on my unsecured PPC, I think I'll pass on this one.

Wait, only 36 bucks you say? On second thought....

Yes it is, but you will get the same one when you install the trial -- it's just a trial license key.

Well, I had it installed for only a couple of hours before I removed it. It is a resource hog for my X50v. It was a real pain just to get WiFi to turn on after this was installed, but I finally did it. Then later on I tried to turn on BT, but it simply would not turn on. It complained about insufficient driver resource space. Turning off the firewall did not help. I ended up removing it and soft reset to make things work again.

And as others have said, at that price -- no thanks.

Cheers,
Dobermann

Do we really need a firewall? M... someone please say no.

Oh well, hackers of the world, please don't hack me when I'm on my pocket pc.

Hmm ... seems like a solution looking for a problem to me. I've never heard of anyone being hacked on their PPC or even a virus attack.

I have to add that I too wonder about the need for this. Sounds like one of those "cool, we can do it on a ppc too" type of applications.

This is retarded, on a pocket pc!? :icon_rofl
