When a virus is detected
First of all, don’t panic! Although far from harmless, some viruses that infect
your handheld device may destroy data or render it unusable.
It can interfere with the normal operation of your handheld device and may
also have other undesirable effects. You should take them seriously and be
sure to remove them when you encounter them.
VirusScan Wireless makes it easier for you to handle viruses whenever it is
detected. Through an alert message dialog box, you are given options that you
can perform simply by selecting the desired course of action.
When VirusScan Wireless detects a virus, an alert message is displayed to
notify you and provide options on how you would want to proceed.
