i recently bought F-secure anti-virus...just wondering, are these antivirus programs like desktop computer anti virus programs where they need to be updated constantly to fight the newest viruses?

i do not see an option to update the program, so not sure....cause i know that a 2-3 year old antivirus program is obviously not good enough for the newest viruses!

the virus threat for pocketpcs is rather small
i wouldnt imagine it requiring an update all that often

Airscanner Mobile's antivirus program has an update option, and it's free. I haven't been able to successfully update on my X50 though, but you may wish to give that a try.

I wouldn't give either a try, make backups, you're more likely to need to hard reset from a bug in windows than from a virus, and the threat just isn't big enough now to justify wasting any resources on a ppc virus scanner.

Casio E-100 --> Casio E-115 --> Dell Axim X50v & X51v

Axim X50v: 128mb RAM (Upgrade by PPC Techs!), WriteShield Screen Protector, Mugen 1800 mAh Battery, 4GB Transcend 133x w/ ECC SD, 16GB Transcend 133x w/ECC CF, WM2003 SE!

Axim X51v: Makuu 6.1 Pro VOIP A09 (Still testing different distributions)

 

I can't believe anyone would even buy an AV software for a handheld device!

What is out there that you fear?
