Palm and Virus!?

[Prasanna Kumar K]

Hi Palm developers,

I am not really sure if this is the right forum to discuss these.. but I didn't find better ones..

As I can see, Palm usage has come a long way since its inception and now Palm is no more a stand-alone device which communicates with the user's PC for hotsync. As the thrust on networked PDA is gaining momentum, don't you see the pit-falls in terms of security and malicious code getting into Palm handhelds from the net? Had there been any Virus attacks on Palm? (Or is it possible!?) Can anyone see the need in the near future for a Palm user to have Anti Virus s/w installed and regularly updated on Palm handhelds?

Is there any articles or discussions available on the net about these concerns? Or anyone working on the "Palm AntiVirus s/w"??

Regards,
:)Prasanna
