TrashMan,

You know the world is coming to an end soon when we require anti-virus software for our cellphones!!!

Anyways - I googled it and came up with:

Link to torrent site removed.

Not sure if this is legit or not - but check it out and hopefully it might be what you're looking for.

Hi John,

Although some files shared through P2P are legal its never a good idea to take the chance and I doubt that this is legal.
It is also a very dangerous practice to use P2P programs as most of the files are infected with virii.
I would recommend you stay away from those types of websites before you end up in our malware forums whistling.gif

@Trashman - I couldn't find anything that I would recommend after a quick google search, sorry for hijacking your thread smile.gif

Most viruses are programmed to only be effective on Windows-based machines. This is why Macs and Linux-based PCs have much fewer problems with viruses and why cell phones pretty much have nothing to worry about currently. As cell phones become more and more like computers, I wouldn't be surprised if we see cell phone viruses sometime down the road, but right now there isn't any need for an anti-virus program on your phone.

There aren't many viruses for cellphones - I know of one, but right now you don't need an anti-virus for your cell phone. When the time comes, I think we'll see more of these made for 'open' Operating Systems like Windows Mobile and Symbian.
