It is impossible. The bn is a closed system, that is, no one can
write programs for it unless they are hw or sendero. Therefore
no virus can run on the bn since the code will not be recognized,
plus pocket devices are less prone to viruses to begin with.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] Can the BrailleNote get viruses/malware?
Hi,
At the moment my laptop is out of action due to, I can only
conclude,
a virus or malware none of my protection software/methods picked
up
on. Because of this I'm using my PK a lot, including online.
And I
got to thinking - should I be worried by th fact the PK doesn't
seem
to have virus protection or a firewall? Maybe because of the way
the
PK works/the OS it uses the risks aren't high, and/or maybe I'm
being
paranoid after my laptop experience but...could anyone comment on
the
possibility of viruses/malware finding their way through onto the
BrailleNote?
Catherine
