ESET Mobile Antivirus - Motorola Q Forum

MisterTedster · 07-10-2008, 04:05 PM

So I just recently downloaded and I've been using this antivirus for a few days, although I don't know if it is really doing anything for me. Anyone try this or have any thoughts about it? It's still in beta but it seems stable enough, and it is free which is nice.

There aren't really that many viruses that will affect WinMo, I've been running various devices over the past 5 years without antivirus with no problems.

A few months ago when I installed the latest version of McAfee on my PC, it noticed that I had a mobile device and told me I could go the the McAfee home page and download an antivirus program for my phone as part of the package.
I never have gotten around to doing it though.
As was mentioned already, I don't think there are many viruses out there that will infect mobile devices.
If a virus tries to jump from your phone to your PC during a sync, the PC antivirus should catch it.

I will say that eset's desktop product (Nod32) is by far the best AV solution I have ever used.If that is any indication then I'm sure it's a great product.

No virus in 4 years.

agreed on nod32 being the best for dekstops, but i dont think you need it for your phone, would just use up your am.
