I second that. NOD32 is by far THEE best anti-virus there is in the market. I have been using it and selling it for the past 10 years and have never had a virus make it into my PC. I load it on all of my Windows machines, including Windows Servers that I manage as well as my Exchange servers. It has never failed me so far. And it is the fastest most reliable anti-virus that i've used as well as having a minimal footprint, and I have used almost all anti-virus packages from free to the expensive one. I think we all know that everyone should stay away from Norton/Symantec as well as McAfee, both complete memory hogs and complete bloatware. Although I have not used NOD32 on my PPC I have always wondered how well it works for WinMo devices. I am considering loading it up on my TP2 for the trial version to see how it works and if it affects performance. They are a very solid company and would recommend it to anyone in the market for anti-virus on their PC.....can't make a comment for PPC, but can only assume that they did a good job on that also. ESET, the company that makes NOD32 hardly puts any money into advertising, almost all their money goes into R&D and this is why they have an awesome product. Thats my two cents on the issue. I will also add that I have been using WinMo devices now for over 10 years and have NEVER come across any viruses for it, and I load up quite a bit of software. I do like to run packet sniffers on my phone to check and see if there is any network activity that I find suspect, but haven't had issues yet. It will only be a matter of time before some dumbass decides to start creating viruses for our phones. Hope that helps out.
