Hehe.....Good competition for Trend on Pocket PCs. Nice.

 

what is Symbian operating system? is there support (or will there be) for palm os and windows mobile?

 

Cool.. Came as a happy suprise

 

I would like to know if it will support Palm OS!! I'm using Avast for my Palm Treo 600 at the moment and works fine!!

 

Look at this WS http://www.symbian.com/

 

Hi, does the windows version of NOD32 detect "Symbian Mobile Smart Phone" virusses/worms/trojans ?

Or do I also need to scan my phone after I have installed a *.sis app with a Symbian anti-virus program ?

Because I download the *.sis files with my Windows PC which runs NOD32, and then I install the *.sis files to my Nokia Phone.

TIA

 

Yeah, just look for any threat with SymbOS/ in it. Example: SymbOS/Skulls
