i want to upgrade my topaz to windows 6.5. i cant find antivirus that works in that windows. i have kaspersky 8.0.0.75 but it works in windows 6.1. can somebody help me?
Try eset:
http://www.eset.com/products/mobileantivirus.php
I use them for my pc, but don't really feel the need to buy mobile antivirus
Try Lookout. Works great & no memory footprint.
I have Kaspersky Mobile Security 8 installed on windows 6.5 mobile. to me, it works fine. i have tried changing the SIM card and i was getting the SMS about the card change.
Other features though i did not try, but should be working.
Kaspersky on the other hand are going to roll out KMS 9 in first quarter of 2010. Which is few days from now. So if you are a Kaspersky fan you can install KMS 9 with the same product serial number for KMS 8 which you have now.

Updates on Kaspersky Mobile Internet 8
hi,anyone knows how to update Kaspersky Mobile Internet 8 couse on my HTC HD2 i cant see any Update in Menu,thanks
Hi everyone!
I'd like to ask if an antivirus software is really needed. All I do, is just some browsing at specific forums, watching videos at YouTube and installing some programmes (downloaded only from xda).
No its not really needed, I would only install if you have valuable data, which you should probably encrypt, or you download from bad places
Are there any virus's which can effect WM, outside of a test environment that is, my PC anti virus hardly ever picks up anything, all I would think mobile anti virus would do is take up memory/processor and some hard earned cash!!!!
Is anyone here reacting to a past instance of actual virus infection, or just being extra careful.
Ok!! Thanks a lot for the answers!
thanks everybody
I had read somewhere that there are very few viruses which really affect windows mobile platform. i use KMS8 more for security (anti theft feature) rather than finding virus on mobile.
Using fsecure from years now, it act as antivirus firewall and you can lock and swipe your phone in case of a robbery.
Support is very good but slow on reaction.
Tranfer from a phone to an other one is possible only 3 times or ask support who is helpfull in problem resolution

help me......
how can i remove this virus from my XDA II phone?
many thanks.
Odd, google says it's a Symbian virus not WM, but it spreads by MMS so I guess there could be a WM verity by now.
Try this link:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_132238.htm
There are also anti virus programs for PPC (not that I recommend such a waste of resources)
Air scanner and CE Trust anti virus (just google for links)
And if nothing else helps hard reset will get rid of it for sure and its free!
Good luck!
COm Warrior A,B,C do not affect PPC..and it is spread via Bluetooth and not MMS, it forces a BT File tramsfer without any security codes..
Guys, google isn't playing ball, is there any list of mobile phones that use Windows Mobile 6 or newer out there?
I have tested ActiveSync on our company exchange server using our Verisign certificate with an HTC S710, and want to give users a list of 'recommended phones'. I have a feeling I should recommend Windows Mobile 5 phones too but not 100% sure of that.
One of the problems is Verisign sells you an 'intermediate' certificate and that doesnt work out of the box on devices that dont support certificate chaining. but at least on Windows Mobile 6 that was easy to fix. I really dont want to end up taking ages setting up their newly acquired Symbian or whatever phones. The Sony P1i was a lost case last time I tried and even when 'working' Activesync was rubbish on it.
Well, you always can go to www.gsmarena.com and use their "Phone Finder" at the left bottom, then select "Windows Mobile" as OS and you should get a pretty decent list of available devices.
Perfect, thanks
Also yu can try this site, that is a partner of XDA-Devs and it´s very good!:

I went from iphone to android to webos to comeback to android.
I use google voice. I use last.fm to scrobble. And pandora.
None of this are on windows mobile marketplace.
I just got the htc hd2 today while i love the hardware and everything. Comparing other mobile os's windows mobile sucks in terms of
app choices.
Can somebody please guide me in the right direction for replacements
or if the programs are available please tell me how to get them?
I also noticed my email inbox looks like it never left the 90's. Html emails are not being displayed and pictures are not loading automatically.
Trying to adapt need it for work so i must make the best out of it

Okay... look here for all the apps we use on our hd2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603880
On Windows Mobile.. you can look for apps outside of the "marketplace".. you download them as a .cab file (on pc or phone) and place them on the sd card if you want... which out the box is unique to windows mobile (doesn't eat up phone memory (but not that we lack it on the new hd2 lol))
Once the .cab file is on your phone/sd card... in the phone you go to file explorer (in the start menu)... click on it and navigate to where you placed the .cab file and run it. You can save the installation to the "device" because there is plenty of memory and tends to run better.
To awnser your questions;
[1] Google voice idk, but im sure google will have a wm app out soon (if not already, im not 'in' google voice so dunno)
[2] Last.fm Googling around a bit i see they (or someone) released a windows mobile app in 2008, but all links to it trow a 404, so check out their mobile forums, specifically this sticky
[3] Pandora, just read this; http://www.pandora.com/on-windowsmobile (Point your mobile phone's browser to www.pandora.com)
[4] Incomplete emails Thats just a setting since most people use gprs/hsdpa, im sure you can change it, either somewhere in the settings or trough a registry edit
Though i just have to say/write this, DONT GET ME WRONG but honestly, you shouldn't try to make this like your iPhone, although Microsoft/HTC are clearly trying to 'collect' some iPhone users, overall the HD2 isn't user friendly enough to be a iPhone (yes i sayd it) That doesn't mean you shouldn't stick with the HD2 though, just forget the iPhone
To put some strength behind my 'user friendly' statement, if your ROM is from before 1.66, the HD2 will have quite some silly bugs, like SMS messages that get stuck in the outbox but only (if your lucky) send 3 weeks later, problems with the camera, not beeing able to read/write large miniSD cards & more.
On the other hand, if your in any way IT related or just in general good with computers, this is currently the best phone on the market (counting HD2 and HD2b as one) it does the latest wireless connection methods, has build-in gps, compass and g-sensor, a 1ghz gpu, a 'gpu' (kinda) and more geeky features, and hey, it can emulate most psx games at full speed (www.fpsece.net)
I'd just strongly suggest you to get a new ROM from the HTC site, assuming you have a device with pre 1.66
I hope the above helped a bit, not trying to make windows mobile even more confusing for you, just trying to tell you that it cant really be compared to iPhone/Android, it can be compared to windows, there are actually millions of apps, nobody ever felt the need for a windows marketplace until iPhone got one and Microsoft had to compete, at which they currently fail hard i agree, the windows marketplace thing is a joke, just use google.
This is my first WM phone, so I'm a bit lost. I've Googled for AV software for WM but there doesn't seem to be that much offer and I haven't found any reviews. I've even read that it is not really needed
Anyway, what AV do you recommend? BTW, are there any free AV for WM?
Thanks.

Hi, there is the Symantec AV for windows mobile, you can get it from the below link
http://www.symantec.com/business/mobile-security-suite-for-windows-mobile
personally I dont bother with a AV, I probably should, but I haven't had any issues so far.

i know it's windows but you do NOT need A/V software for your phone. it will only slow it down. i've had a windows mobile device since 2003 and never seen a virus or heard of anyone that has.
there are concept viruses, but nothing in the wild. also, there are blackberry and iphone concept viruses
I have Nod32 trial mobile edition installed on my HD2, I haven't noticed any significant slow down. however it'd probably be good to test with some kind of benchmarking software to see whether this is true or just subjective.
Mobile Antivirus isn't good idea. Too small virus bases in all Mobile AV.
Symantec Endpoint Ptotection or Norton 360 on PC - good idea.
There is no problems to scan viruses on Storage Card.
If you want check for viruses main storage - unpack your HD2 backup on PC and check unpacked files.
Don't waste resources or money on mobile anti-virus, ive NEVER heard or seen one, and I as well have had a few WinMo devices
Thanks for the input. WM viruses do exist, I'm afraid. The internet is full of recent news of a WM virus that comes with a game: 3D Anti-Terrorist. There is even a thread on it on the XDA forum.
I've done further research and WM virus seen to be rare indeed, but if there is a free AV that doesn't slow down the phone I won't mind having it installed.
https://www.mylookout.com/ you may try this one... It's free and has some trackin' stuff...
There is the Terdial virus that makes internation calls
I am not allowed to link to it as I am a new member (tut) but if you google it you will find information
The best protection against damage to your phone is simply to read all of the posts in a thread before you install a cab.
Hey Guys,
1) sorry if this has come up before, search-fu is weak and nothign relevant seems to come up with the "Similar threads" thing.
2) My provider has all but forced me off Windows Mobile, which is fine, since with sideloading being such a hard task on WM7, and that I would have to pay alot to get a WM7 handset and go up monthly fees too, i'm not too fussed.
So i've taken the plunge and gone for an Android phone, trouble is I have a few apps on my old windows mobile device I would love to run on Android... number 1 priority being TomTom Navigator, which yes, I could repay for, but I don't see why I should have to.
So, is there any software in the works that will let me run Windows Mobile based apps on an Android phone?
many thanks
Sorry for bringing an old topic back into the daylight, but I have the same thought. I definately need some apps of WM running on Android when I'll buy my new phone, so this kind of emulator would be a major reason to switch from my outdated Touch Pro. Couldn't something like Haret be created, just to run Windows Mobile, not Android?
There is no, for now
thanks for clearing that out, that's a pitty. But how about the future? Is it at least theorically possible to create something to have this kind of dual boot? Would Android community and developers be interesting in this?
Yeah I wish that was possible, but no.
