avast! 4 PDA Edition

avast! PDA Edition is designed to protect pocket devices (PDAs) from viruses. The importance of PDAs is growing every day and it is quite likely that these devices will soon become a target for new virus attacks. With such devices having better and better connectivity, such an attack is getting easier to realize. All the CPUs capable of running the given OS are supported. Scanning kernelWe have developed a special "pocket version" of the scanning kernel, with the following features: Small size and memory requirements High speed, and so a quick response, even on slower CPUs A typical scan of the whole pocket device (with 16-128MB of memory) only takes a few seconds, therefore it`s possible to run it on a regular basis. Specific detection capabilities: avast! PDA Edition detects only viruses (or any other malicious code) written for The Target environment (code capable of running on the given OS). This guarantees a small size of the antivirus deployment. Even though it would be possible to Detect all known viruses, even on a PDA, this would tend to make a large deployment footprint on a small device, when the purpose of the antivirus product is to protect the pocket device primarily; in other words, memory requirements, size and speed are more important here than the detection of viruses for other platforms.
