As far as I know there is nothing available at the moment. But I hope they will create one!

However never came across one for mobiles. Thought virus writers would have written some for mobiles.


The Japanese DoCoMo network had trouble with a virus that propagated via text message and caused the phones to call the Japanese equivalent of 999 periodically last year.

The more advanced the mobiles, the more useful they are but they also bring trouble!

Call me silly, but is it possible to connect your phone via usb, then using your pc norton antivirus to check the files on your mobile.

emails are not automatically capable of launching anything, so unless someone makes a worm specifically targeting UIQ systems, it won't work...

as you can do pretty much anything with C++, you could very easily create a sis installation file that would erase data from the phones user internal or external memory, it'd be easiest to create one that deletes the used internal usable memory (not ram or rom)

I tried to scan my P900 through the antivirus but there is no path that points to the device.

I even tried by right-clicking my mobile icon but no scan option was available.
