That is of course correct however the number of devices running CE is expanding at a rate that is truly unbelievable. The problem is the more users of an operating system the more likely some clever person is to want to get at them. Even Linux is now starting to have problems because of increased users.

I figure if anyone knows the answer, they do. According to HW, the BN family is invulnerable to viruses because they are written for operating systems run on PC's, and the BN family runs Windows CE, so viruses generally aren't going to effect the BN's operating system. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bray, Terry Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 11:02 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Viruses Is that really true? I am not so sure for one thing you are operating on a windows environment the only restricting feature is KeySoft so you most likely wouldn't get anything that way but what if the virus was in something on a memory key or hard drive. You can for example install drivers so you can likely install software. Just because it doesn't work with KeySoft doesn't restrict what you can do. Everyone should always be careful no matter what and always keep in mind that this is a windows.ce based operating system and that KeySoft is your screen reader application manager.
