Virus / Spyware on PDAs?

Is this possible?

If so what anti-virus and spyware software are there?

When I learn how to connect my PDA to either home broadband and/or gprs phone will I need to 'firewall' the pda? If not why not and if so how?

Thanks

PDA viruses are starting to crop up more and more. So much so that Symantec and others have put antivirus products on the market. Check www.symantec.com or www.mcafee.com. If you have a firewall protecting your PC or network from the internet the connecting to the net from behing the firewall should also protect the PDA without needing to do anything extra.

Aha re firewall...... but are you saying that the usual suspects sell PDA versions of their software?

Symantec do...not sure about McAfee for definite but have a look on their site.
