wow....that is just plain WRONG....do not listen to this guy.....format your sdcard and reflash a stock carrier rom.
there are actually MANY windows mobile "viruses"....keyloggers, data corrupters, call and sms recorders, there are ones that can hard reset your phone and there are even ones that can turn your phone into a "bug" and secretly listen to you in your pocket and track you through your gps. your statement is extremely naive.....newer builds of WM may or may not be immune to some of these, but i know for a fact that one of the worst(is capable of all of the above bad things) does work on a stock sprint rom.
it is true that the average Windows virus does not spread to WM, please don't think for a second that none exist that can jump from a pc to a phone or that WM itself is not a target for viruses....as more people use WM it is more and more of a target. one thing i haven't heard of is a "worm" for WM, but i would not be surprised if one is developed soon or already exists.....as we become more reliant on them and do more things with them, they become more and more attractive to the bad guys....
