For an affordable price, you can get the maximum protection against viruses that were created to damage your PDA handheld computer. I own a Handspring Visor armed with the Palm OS and now I can be rest-assured that there will be no viruses that can cause my PDA to go haywire.

At a mere [price], I believe it would be very much worth the price in comparison to losing all of your data on your handheld. There is a potential threat from viruses on PDA systems.

If you really depend on your PDA for the information storage, etc. this software is for you. There are adjustable settings that you can change, such as when the software will scan for viruses(before hotsync and/or after hotsync), and what type of data to scan for viruses.

McAfee has been making anti virus software for a very long time, so the company itself is reputable. And I can't find an anti virus software from Norton(Symantec) made for the PDAs.

If your like me, you keep a lot of information in your PDA. Everything I ever need, I can find on my PDA. I could never imagine losing all that important information from a small simple virus. In recent years, viruses have been commonly found on our personal computers, and now viruses are moving to wireless devices. McAfee Virusscan Wireless is vital to preventing viruses from destroying your PDA. The software automatically scans your PDA during synchronization and protects your PDA back-up on your personal computer. McAfee Virusscan Wireless will automatically update itself, so you can be worryfree about new viruses. Get McAfee Virusscan Wireless, it could safe your PDA's life!

This software simply preys on handheld user's ignorance. There are no true PalmOS viruses out there. Save your money on this product and instead buy some form of backup solution. A Backup Module if you have a visor, Memory backup SD card if you have a more recent Palm device, or a Northstar backup module if you have an older Palm III series device. This software is completely useless. Get a good backup solution and you will be much safer than if you just had this software loaded on your handheld.

This was a complete waste of my money. I have been unable to update the software since install. I continue to get that I am not registered. When I contacted McAfee I get "we are mailing you instructions on correcting this".. Well it's been a week and I've sent 2 emails, 1 live chat and still no emails back. Guess they want me to spend another $20 on a annual subscription.
