Virus Protection for Axim 5

[IBFun]

:unsure: Being a relatively new Axim PDA owner, I am wondering where the best virus protection can be found for my wireless exchanges using the Axim 5? For that matter, is virus protection essential and/or recommended for wireless PDA's? I sync with my desktop computer frequently also and suspect that a virus could easily be transferred either way during those times. With all that is going on out there, it seems the reasonable thing to do is to have at least some minimal virus protection which protects the PDA???

Here are a couple of sites that I know that has Anti-Virus, although F-Secure only supports the following devices:

Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC and Pocket PC 2002 handhelds
HP Jornada Pocket PC 2002 handhelds
Toshiba Pocket PC 2002 handhelds (550/570 series)
Symbol Pocket PC 2002 handhelds

Just curious...why would there be vendor-specific anti-virus solutions for the PocketPC OS? Is it because of the different processor architectures, and therefore there are differences in things like the BIOS, memory management, etc?

I would have thought that anti-virus for the PocketPC would work on all of the platforms.

Anyone have any comments?
