Wonder if any of you computer-savvy prooners can help?
I have a PDA and computer set up to update each other and it has worked fine for 18 months or so. Then I was sent the BugbearB virus in an e-mail from Dubai….
Managed to eradicate it (apparently) from my computer using Norton but now when my PDA and computer synchronise (Activesync) there is always one unresolved item in the Inbox. If I click on ‘resolve’ I get an error message ‘Cannot convert file att**’ (Where ‘**’ is a two digit, apparently random hexadecimal number). This suggests to me that the virus is still lurking somewhere…
So my question is: Do viruses lurk in PDAs and if so, what can I do about it??
Any ideas/suggestions/solutions much appreciated.
Many thanks.
