    I've been using Windows Mobile Phone Edition for a couple of years now and I haven't been infected by any virus or spyware. I don't have antivirus installed either.

    The Asus P525 comes with Skype software. But I can't seem to make it to work. Those who have successfully used Skype said that the voice of the called party comes out of the rear loud speaker. Medyo wala lang privacy.

    Just wanted to revive this thread because I just got an N73 that came with an anti-virus program F-Secure Anti-Virus that was pre-installed but not activated. Tanong ko lang kung may gumagamit nito, o kung kailangan talaga ng anti-virus software para sa Symbian OS cellphone.

    If the program isn't needed, would it be sufficient to not accept or open attachments or files sent by MMS to the phone?

    mikey177, I think you posted your question in the wrong thread. This thread is about Windows Mobile, and your concern is about Symbian

    Sorry, boybi. I did a search and this was the closest thread about cellphone viruses that I could find. I'll just start a new thread on the topic.
