If you check this site, this forum, a long time ago, I said that AV are not needed so far in a PPC environment because the only reasonable scenarios for a virus attack was a trojan. I also said that if disabling some of the security registry keys - yes, because all that is saved in the registry- is enough to call a program a virus then there are many virus around at this moment because basically some of our PPC starting by the old x51v where configured by the OEM in a way that basically did not give the owner the chance to install anything in there.
This same settings but in a level more higher are the one used by the Phone companies to not allow the installation of any program in "their" phones. And there are many tools out there to break that security and gives people back the ownership of their phones.
Without disabling some of the security keys in Pocket PCs and Phones programs like PHM Registry Editor and Tweaks2k2 wont work properly. To make it clearly.
The AV issue in Pocket PC and SP is simple. You have to take responsibility about what you copy to your Device. Plain and simple. I never have installed an AV in any of my WM devices and so far I do not think that I gonna do it any time soon.
