Yup, 'virii' is not the correct plural of 'virus'; see

just started using a pocketpc 2003se OS and while reading in
this group did not notice any reference to virus and malware
protection?

I quick search found a product from symantec, trend and
avast.

Before I get too involved are there any suggestions /
recommendations

thanks Geoff


Symantec makes a version of Norton Antivirus for Handhelds, it's on their
website.

FWIW, Virii is not a word. The plural of Virus is Viruses. The word
Virii does not exist.
