Hi 

[Please don't top-post with buggy Microsoft Outlook 11]

Thanks for the infos

I think that pirated software is a most risky proposition-as with
anything where the user initiates installation.

Personally, I think there is a greater risk of having your phone
stolen and your data compromised than anything else.

This may be anecdotal, but I don't know anyone who has ever had a
virus on a symbian based (or any other) phone. Unlike people who use
PC's.

kind regards
Sven
