Does anyone know of, or recommend a antivirus/spam software for the Treo 800w? Thanks!

Anyone actually gotten a virus on their phone. I haven't run one on my PC in years until recently, and I have never gotten viruses or other crap. I am just careful with what I do. I finally got to the point that the threats are getting sophisticated enough that it won't hurt to have another software package running on my system. Is it really a need at this point to have them on our phones?

It has been debated whether or not to run antivirus on WM phones. Viruses in WM are far and few between and rescue is only a hard reset away (for now) but as the devices get more sophisticated it will be a growing problem as hackers will find a way in.
