i love it when virus protection companies release vuirus protection for a device that doesnt have any virii (and cos of the way MS Smartphone works, is pretty unlikely to have any)

[Guest James]

Where did you sign up for this?

i cant see anything on the Trend Micro website

[Guest ndmorgan]

The Beta test starts in a week or two so they may have pulled the link.

It may be unlikely that they release viri for mobile2003 pda's/phones but there is always a chance.

The spam control and sms bouncing's enough for me?

Anyway - thought I'd get my name down for it and review it in any case.

I don't believe it will be too long before some smart alec manages to infect a smartphone.
