Sorry if this gets asked all the time guys, have scoured your excellent forum for info but to no avail.
My ignorance is due to being an ex smartphone owner, which i am sure you know are easy to de-cert.
I just want to chuck a load of games and non-approved utils onto my XDA, but DAMMIT, it won't fookin let me
Cracking forum by the way guys, has taken me ages to find you!
Mart
Never touched a smart phone. I've never heard of "de-cert." What is it? Doesn't sound like something that needs to be done on the XDA, certainly I've never seen it said here, and I've been around since the dinosaur ages.
It allows non valid windows CE applications to be installed - i.e. not officially approved software
I've never heard of an officially-approved piece of software for a Pocket PC. I don't think there is a certification program for that. In any case, your PPC will let you install any PPC software, approved or not, whatever, it won't care.
Excellent, however I keep getting
"filename" is not a valid windows CE setup file.
Am I being stupid here, installing in the wrong way?
I have only seen that error when I tried running the wrong version (not for Pocket PC) on my unit.
Might want to make sure the app is for Pocket PC and that the cpu type is correct.
Cheers - most of my smartphone software must be incompatible then, even though the spv uses a version of PPC.
Any site recommendations where I can get hold of PPC software for free? seems to be damn expensive in most places!
Thanks again
Smartphone software IS certified... Basically, you pay Microsoft to be able to have your software run on smartphones.
Regular pocket PC or windows mobile on xda devices does NOT have this restriction (and those devices are what this forum is about..)
Smartphone software is not PPC-compatible. Lots of titles have releases for both PPC and Smatphone, but I've never seen one that has both in the same release (though I suppose you could package multiple versions with one installer).
In any case, go to the developers' sites and see if they have PPC compatible versions.

Not true, some Smartphone software is certified but not all. There are many applications available for MS Smartphone that can only run on application unlocked handsets. Not all authors can afford to apply for certification and for many utils it's hardly worth the bother. Thankfully for most of the existing handsets it is relatively easy to application unlock them so that uncertified apps can be installed.
And going back to the OP's question, Smartphone software is not the same as PocketPC software and whilst a few rare titles can be run on both, most cannot.
www.freewareppc.com
has loads of goodies on there.
Smartphone software wise - I am not sure but I think I saw an emulator for PPC at one point - could not find it though - does anybody know if this exists as there is some good programs for smartphone that have no PPC equal???
Hi all,
what is the best Antivirus for my Jam?
Is it really necessary?
I don't want to install stuff that make my jam too slow...
I wouldn't worry about it yet. I don't think there are too many viruses out there yet as there aren't too many people with pda phones or pdas on the net or constantly receiving MMS messages. Later in the future, yes.
I don't think we are there yet, either. But the latest ROM has eTrust in it, I think...
I'va installed the last WWE ROM and I've not got it... :-(
It comes on the extended rom, so if you did big storage and removed it, then naturally it's not there. Alternatively, grab it as a standalone from Club I-mate (requires an account)
Oh, and the virus database in it doesn't have a single virus so it's pretty useless at the moment. You'll be able to scan but there'll be nothing to look for!!

I stand corrected. I looked on google and found this dated 19th July so it's fairly old. BBC news of first virus.
I also went to F-Secure antivirus site, which has a pocket PC version of it's software. Turns out they have 2 virus definitions. One's the virus mentioned above, the other is called Brador and is a backdoor trojan. Neither of which have been released out in the "wild", just proof of concept viruses.
Sorry to seem misleading. I'm not panicking yet, though.
Well... in your opinion wich antivirus is the best?
And what about spyware? Is there anything for that on ppc's, or aren't there any ppc-spywares out there yet?
Was just doing a search through the forums to see what would be good for my o2 mini.
It appears antivirus isn't that important yet....
Although this thread is a few months old however so are people still of the same opinion or do most has some type of antivirus installed now?
Cheers for some new thoughts

THanks Dear, I was searching for serail no. since last month but I got it from u .Thank u very much.
Hey,
found that on the web:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/wince/index.html
It's a pocket pc portation of a good freeware spyware scanner. Works pretty good on my Magician - although the last database update of the mobile version was in June 2007. I'm interested in what you think about it.
Greetz, Mike.
hello,
I was wondering, if wizard does have any antivirus software installed by default?
If no, what can you recommend?
wait until needed.
There hasn't been a WM5 virus circulating in the wild yet. While there is antivirus software available, it is a waste of your time, space and money. The first real (as opposed to proof of concept) virus will be big news.
I'm looking for a free anti virus program for Rhodium. The only one I found was Flexis Mobile Security. It can be found on 'freeware pocketpc .net' under security. (I tried to post the link, but it's being blocked because of security reasons)
Does anyone have any experience with this program, or can anyone point me to another free anti virus program?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Why do you want an antivirus on your Rhodium? Back when I was still a n00b to Windows Mobile (~2 years ago), I bought a one year license for Norton Mobile Antivirus, and it had a feature which let you view the entire virus database. There were about 20 total viruses in the database, and only 3 were for Windows Mobile; the rest were for Symbian. Now, of those three viruses for Windows Mobile, one of them asked you if you wanted to be infected or not, and the other two came from illegal sites nobody should go to anyway. Any mobile antivirus will barely protect you from a virtually nonexistent threat, and it will only slow down your device. No matter how paranoid you are about viruses on your Rhodium, it's just a waste your time to actually use a mobile antivirus.

I second this, I was running Kaspersky Mobile and all it did was slow down my phone. We may need it in the future but not now.
Last December I found a virus on my flashdrive. It copied itself to the trashbin of Windows XP and infected any flashdrive I plugged in. I removed the virus, but I already had synchronised my phone.
How can I find out if this virus has infected my Rhodium?

Two different Operating Systems. Viruses are written to attack specific OS's. Just make sure you scan the flashdrive under windows for virus. Don't worry about the Win Mobile OS.
I use ESET mobile AV.

I wasn't sure if Win Mobile would be affected or not. Thanks for the reassurance.
And I'll take a look at ESET AV. Better safe than sorry.
Today I found an article in the paper. Apparently the game '3D anti terrorist action' may be infected with a trojan virus. The smartphone starts dialling expensive international phonenumbers.
Does anyone have any experience with 'Lookout mobile security'?
Please let me know if it's a good application.
Thanks again,
Rob.

I've been using Lookour Mobile Security for 4 or 5 months now, haven't noticed any slowdown in the phone. Nothing has been detected either, but I don't go to risky sites using my phone, and all my spam is filtered by email provider before getting to my inbox, so I can't say anything about the efectiveness of the antivirus.
Thanks for your comment aboute the use of Lookout, Josemald.
Just a few things I'd like to know.
When I go to the Lookout site, I get a screen, asking for my mobile number. Do you get an e-mail link as text message?
Could you tell me what happens after that?
Thanks.
Never mind, figured it out.
I too was infected by '3D anti terrorist action' with Lookout Mobile Security installed and active.

So, after an hard reset, I flash again my HD (with a new rom)... and I'm not installed Lookout again.
I don't know if Lookout is a good application, but I seen that was unuseful in this case.
With spending caused by malware could I buy an effective antivirus ...
Seems that the one of few that detect and remove this malware was f-secure mobile...

Software firewall
I think more important than a AV, is a software firewall for Windows Mobile.
This way we can control our connections and see if any programs are connecting without our knowledge.
Right now we are installing CAB files from everybody but we don't know much about who writes them and they could easily have back-doors to collect out email passwords etc.

thanks for this commentary....
I installed windows8 developer edition in the C drive. No other operating systems. I have updated the windows defender from windows update.
Then i made some browsing and downloaded some exe's and installed them. But now i think my pc is infected with virus. Windows defender detected few viruses and quarantined them. I deleted them. Now my pc is having few issues. It is taking a lot of time to restart. Also the recycle bin icon on the desktop is now changed to bluetooth icon. I guess my pc is virus infected.
I heard windows defender is a full fledged antivirus solution for windows8. IS it not?
Do you recommend any antivirus solutions for windows8. What should i do now.
Actually i purchased KASPERSKY ANTIVIRUS 2011 which is compatible with windows7. My subscription is upto march 2012. But my bad it is not compatible with windows8. Any solution for this one too..
Windows Defender is not AntiVirus... You want Microsoft Security Essentials or whatever their calling it now
It's all incorporated into Defender now.
We will never get Professional Security from M$.We must depend on Professional AV Providers like norton,Kaspersky.
Why were you installing random executables? If you can't use Windows without F8cking up so badly then you shouldn't be using Developer Preview. GO back to Windows 7, most AV software doesn't work with W8 anyway.

Well those "professionals" are the most expencive AV in the market.. dont know if you get a % of it.. but there are some out there completly free.
The AV industry is like politics.. there are AV to Mac OSX and there is no virus there..
there is AV in Windows Phone and there is no virus there.. is just business
MS changed many things with time. you go instal something, and you have to confirm it and alow it to acess previleges if asked for that program.
that is just the problem.
people install everything even if dont know what is it .. MS cant do mutch unless start cuting some fingers to dont alow install even after warnings.

SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes should clean the infection up for ya, if not, try ComboFix.
i've never gone wrong with panda cloud av...and its free. i currently use it on my windows 8 m3 build 8102 x86, and it works just fine. as the tech of my friends and family...im always cleaning viruses from peoples computers, even though they have nortons, mcafee, sophos, etc...but when i uninstall them and use panda it almostr instantly finds viruses and malware the others didnt detect. i think av's are much better cloud based as you dont need to update definitions...just connect and you are protected in real time.
