Just wondering if anyone has any idea whether or not it is possible to get spyware on the pocket pc. As far as I know there is no software for detecting spyware on the pocket pc so I'm starting to worry about which websites I visit.

Thanks

Not that im aware of. Spyware must often be targetted at a spesific browser or platform/os. I have yet to hear of any PPC specific spyware.

EDIT: Welcome to the PPCT forums :)

Further, the spyware would need to be coded for the ARM CPU instruction set, which doesn't have a very big installed based when compared to the x86-based desktop world. For now, you're 100% safe.
