Hi,

I have looked through SE application shop site, but I can't find any antivirus program.

no it is not necessary, there is no virus yet ever invented for UIQ platform, computer virus will take no effect with UIQ phones also because they are made to work on PC's

mcaffe antivirus for UIQ3 will just eat up your RAM

The most important thing you should consider is (What are you going to do) You can't get a Virus if you don't install one, so if you are careful what you download and the places you go then there should be no need for an Antivirus

just be carefull on receiving files through bluetooth, turn it off when not in use [it saves battery life too] plus there are rumors that virus can be attached in pictures, music files and videos too..

I upgrade software from official site of Sony Ericsson on my P1i and after instaling McAfee virus scan it made problems with contact list. At some contacts I saw only number, not name or picture.Also McAfee firewall made problems with bluetooth connection. So i don ´t use them anymore. I can´t tell about AVG yet.
