anti-virus for tp2 (& status bar on phone)

Hi everyone,

sorry but this is a 2 question post...if this has been posted on this forum before..i apologize for double posting...maybe the mods can transfer it to the correct thread...but...

1. What anti-virus (if any) do you use on your htc tp2? what can you say about it? trying to get a consensus of what everyone uses.

2. is there any way to put the status bar of the tp2 at the bottom of the screen, as opposed to the top? i found that during phone calls (sometimes), somehow my ear presses on the start button and it starts to launch programs that are on my start menu. at least that's the only explanation i can think of when i have to start closing out apps that are open after ending a call.

What say you ppcgeekers?!?!

(just an extra FYI....running stock rom on my phone still if that matters regarding answers to my questions.)

I have played around with AV programs for the mobile world in the past, but honestly haven't found a real world need to ever implement them full time on my phone.

Re: anti-virus for tp2 & status bar on phone

I use SMobile Security Shield (anti-virus and fw) Link. They just released a new version that was compatible w/ 6.5. This also has additional capabilities like find/lock/wipe phone (don't know if it works, but extra options aren't bad).

BTW, this was free from my work so like other posters I don't know if I would ever personally buy or need one.

Yes and no. Yes a hard reset will fix the infected phone, but no it would not fix anything...if you synced the infected file to your PC...and for some bizarre reason you had no AV on the PC...you've just potentially infected your PC. Same goes for e-mail.

We have to use Trend Micro PocketPC with our company phones. It does not seem to degrade performance much, if at all. I've forgotten to reinstall it occassionally after a flash and not really noticed any difference.

im aware that the sensor turns the screen off when you have the phone against your ear. any idea then why some programs open up by their own? it always opens the owner info screen, calendar and programs folder. it doesnt do it often...i'd say at least once every few days. and like i said in my original post, it somehow happens when im talking on the phone because when i close the phone screen, that's when all these screens are open all at the same time.

Re: anti-virus for tp2 & status bar on phone

did anyone here ever actually got a virus on their device? never heard of that yet. If the virus ever does migrate to pc via sync (that would be one hell of a virus- since i(or anyone i know) never sync files and i doubt it can mask as a contact/app/msg(no att) or call log) the pc av will get it and hard reset or new rom flash will effectively desinfect your phone.
