Question is since I am going on the Internet...will I need it?

If yes, then which should I buy?

Also will pda users get viruses only when they download stuff onto their PDA or can you get it when you just go onto a website?

Not sure?

Thanks!

This is the only virus for the ppc and it's just an concept virus

I'm not sure if you get it from a download or if you get from a site dosen't say in the article. So for now i don't think you need anti-virus for the ppc, but if you do decide to get anti-virus get airscanner you can get it here http://airscanner.com/downloads/av/av.html its free too.

Do you guys think that we need Anti-Virus programs for our Dell PPCs?

I used to have airscanner, but I deleted the .exe file and uninstalled it from Activesync. When I try to go to their website or any other website with it (ex. www.freewareppc.com), it won't download. Can someone post a link that will work?

reese

http://airscanner.com/downloads/av/amav.exe

that one works for me.

Still doesn't work. I also try right clicking on the link and selecting "save target as" but it still doesn't work.

Can someone just upload the actual file?

fgags

i have it. if you want it pm me and i can email it to you.

fgags

to big to upload

mara6

oh...let me think...

fgags

i used the link that reese left and it works fine. you might have to use the pc first to download and then install the program on your ppc

mara6

I'm not on my PPC. Never was. I think it's my internet.

fgags

i hope you got it this time. post how it works out for you.

later

Works great thanks! I've had it before, so not much to say about the program!

On the disk that you get from Dell, there is a trial version of Mc Affee. I really agree with everyone on this site, there are not real big viruses out there and the the ones that do exist can't do any damage that a hard reset would not take care of.
