@prits

I don't know of any and I wouldn't have said that you needed one. The chance of your W550 getting a virus is pretty small.

AFAIK, non-smartphones cannot be inflicted by viruses, as they have limited expandability and cannot be installed by applications other than java apps...

java apps can acess file sytem and PIM data in certain conditions, so its possible to have some kind of malicious java app...

but...non signed java apps always require user aceptance for read/write operations on the file system, internet, pim, etc...however, if some guy managed to sign such an app, it could be troublesome

but so far, i donīt now of such cases
