I've often wondered if the more we demand from this equipment if
we're not asking for virus trouble. I'm definitely not a
technician, but in putting in everything we all demand, are we
taking chances with viruses?

in answering your e-mail.
You are safe as regards virus on the BrailleNote as the
day-to-day virus
that wreck havoc in the PC industry are not supported by the
processor
structure used in WinCE based
machines.
Greetings.
The only thing with the notion of an antivirus program for the
BrailleNote is that, at this point, no virus is written that
will RUN on
these units. If a virus is written that requires VisualBasic
Scripting
(VBScript), or JavaScriptstJScript, this won't run (regardless
of whether
the attachment is opened or not, as the BrailleNote has neither
of these
scripting languages. Any virus that runs as either an ActiveX
control
or an executable program for the PC will also not affect the
BrailleNote, as there's a world of difference between the MIPS
instruction set and the Intel instruction set. The only
viruses we
might be susceptible to are those that would either be written
to target
these specific machines, or perhaps maybe possibly those for
some models
of handheld PC that also use the NEC processor that is in this
device.
Here is a copy of a message I received from Dean on the topic of
viruses.
As Technical support have correctly advised you, the
BrailleNote is not
vulnerable to viruses. As you have requested, I will outline a
few reasons
below
for your IT staff:
1. No activex controls are run in the Internet Explorer
browser if loaded
in an opened page.
2. Any Word file that is opened on the BrailleNote goes through
an RTF
converter which only strips the text from the file.
3. Any attachments received via email will not execute directly
from the
email client and HTML email is not supported.
I can assure you that our technical support staff around the
World, for
these and other reasons, have not had to deal with even one
related virus or
spyware
caused problem.
There is no virus checker that will run on the BrailleNote and
our latest
software runs on Windows CE 4,2.
If you require further assistance, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Hi Kiran,
You, and the owner of the BN QT, have my deepest sympathy. I've
been up the same road and couldn't tell you WHY the Flash Disk
took a hike!
Not being a BN Nerd, like some of you guys, my guess is that it
was a virus, sent, either via an e-Mail or during an Internet
session. Which brings me to a question. Where is the Anti-Virus
Program in the BN!

Yes, but the problem started to appear before I borrowed the unit
and so
that's not my fault.

I would guess whoever had this unit would have to send it back
in. Did I read right, that someone borrowed this unit?

repairs?

Rhonda,
does that mean the unit is no longer useful until It goes in for
repairs?

Sorry, but the Flash Disk is gone. That unit won't help you,
unless you just want to write on your Cf card.

Subject: [Braillenote] BN QT reset question
Hi all,
I borrowed a Braille Note QT 32 for a few months from a friend.
When I got
it from him though, the flash disk was not accessible. I think
it basically
means that I can't use the planner, email and the internet. The
manual on
the device is also missing. I do have the Keysoft 6.11 compact
flash disk. I
inserted it in the unit and pressed the reset button for 5
seconds. But it
came up saying that the flash disk is not available and asked me
to press
the reset button with no keys pressed. I did this but the result
is the
same. I suppose there is a JKL and 123 reset but I can't
understand the
purpose of these two. I tried both though with no luck.
Is there a way I can get back the flash disk? Any help in this
regard is
greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Kiran Kaja
