I am curios, how does this effect your device speed and performance?

What is the CPU and memory usage (in reality, not what stated on the site)?

I have Symantec on my XP PC and it sucks big time (does the job for the most part, but very slow and heavy).

eTrust came pre-installed on my Jamin, but that is an even bigger atrocity!

Another question - do they have a list for PPC viruses on their site like they do for PC ones?

The only PPC virus I heard of was a harmless proof of concept that could make files display a pop-up message and did not reproduce.

If real viruses for WM systems are already out there (I know its a only matter of time) I would be interested in reading up on them to know what I am facing.

Also, anyone actually caught a virus on a WM machine and can share the experience?
[General Topics] BigDede:
Here are my first impressions:

1 - The Startup time of my Athen after a soft reset has increased by around 20 sec, this because Symantec is loading on the startup.

2 - I didn't noticed a slow down during normal utilization of the device, but it's really early before concluding on that point because I need to try different applications.

3 - When I first connected to the Internet via WiFi, even the connection were established, could not load the pages having an error "page not found"

but after 15sec everything is back to normal and connections to Internet was not a problem at all.

4 - I just suffered a Freeze but not sure it is due to Symantec, because i've been suffering frequent daily freezes on my Athena since I upgraded to WM6.

But the freeze came this time while using the Antivirus SW

5 - The package is composed by an AntiVirus, a Firewall, a Norton Secure Folders utility and a Norton Tools utility.

6 - Also note that after finish installing it, it force you to set a pin code that you will have to enter everytime you soft reset your device. I tried to disable it but it won't let you do it

I'll give more details about the package in a different post after some testing
[General Topics] BigDede:
You can check the list from the SW installed on the PPC

Just applied live update over WiFi and basically there are 5 in the list:

EICAR-TEST-FILE

WinCE.Duts.A

Backdoor.Brador.A

Trojan.Redbrowser.A!jar

MSIL.Cxover.A

Definitions : 04/06/07 ver 2.0
[General Topics] BigDede:
As promised, here is my feedback on the tools provided in the package:

1 - Norton Antivirus

Very friendly and easy to use, from the menu u can access the options for the Antivirus, the Scans, the AntiSpam, Updates and Proxy config. You can also access the quanrantined files, the activity log and the virus definitions list. Manual scan and automatic scan can be performed.

2 - Norton Firewall

I didn't really understood how we use the Firewall function. Basically when you start it you have a tab showing the security level. It is have different security levels for World (the highest), Office, Home and Open Sapce Networks (the lowest). Also you can not modify them at all. You can access a second tab called Events by severity in last and a third tab "Event list" which show in details all the events that happened on your device, like soft reset, login success .... very weird as we can not reset this list, also we can not change any parameter in the Norton Firewall, everything is set by default
[General Topics] BigDede:
3 - Norton Secure Folders

from what I guessed, this utility allow you to choose folders on your device and set them as secure. I don't know what it does exactly but I think it should encrypt the data inside the folder so it's protected in case you have been attacked by a trojan who collects your data and send it to the pirate.

You click on menu->Add->then you choose from the list Device, Mircrodrive or Storage Card if you have one. Then you type the name of the folder you want to secure.

I did a test, I choosed Device, and kept the folder name blank and clicked on ok. It added the "secure folder" under device. if you try to remove it you will have this warning "Removing the secure folder will destroy all data in the folder. do you really want to remove it?"
[General Topics] BigDede:
4 - Norton Tools

It contains 2 utilities, GetUUID and Lock

GetUUID will display on the screen 2 series of digites

the first one don't know what it is and second one is your IMEI

I guess this info is needed when the final version is released and

you need to register the SW

Lock utility display the following message when u click on it

Encryption may take several minutes. Pls wait for the device to power off.

If you need to soft reset, pls wait until encryption is completed and the

device powers itself off.

I clicked on yes, so the device start encrypting something .... then the screen turned off. I turned it on using the power button and it displayed to me the password screen which I entered. then it displayed the message decrypting for about 30 sec, then I had my normal today screen ...

Im wondering if it does not encrypt/decrypt the secure folders you

already chosen using the "Norton Secure Folders" utility.

Ive wrote to Symantec asking them for a manual or user guide, hopefully they will reply.

I have rated this SW 3/5 on their site, mainly because it is not clear what all utilities does and because Firewall is set by default and noting can be changed.

Hope my feedback will be usefull, and I hope other users will bring to us their experiences with the different Anti-Virus SW they have used on their Pocket PCs.
[General Topics] levenum:
Just as I suspected, no real viruses just a nice proof of concept that asks you if you want to try it:

WinCE.Duts.A

A back door that needs to be run and does not spread:

Backdoor.Brador.A plus it would be useless if you are on GPRS/EDGE/UMTS or behind a NUT router.

This one seems like it could actually be trouble, if:

a) you leave in Russia

b) you are stupid enough to believe you can get WAP pages through SMS and that it would be cheaper than GPRS

c) you can get it to work on PPC.

Trojan.Redbrowser.A!jar

This one though, I have to admit is rather clever - using .NET to run both on PC and PPC amd is fairly destructive:

MSIL.Cxover.A

It is still unclear, however how its spreads from PC to PC (presumably you have to download and install / run it).

Of course given the fact that many people save their docs on SD and not the default My documents folder and that they do not disable security completely on their WM 5 and up devices (which are becoming majority these days) the effectiveness of this worm is more than questionable.

Well I still think it is too early to actually by this kind of apps. Also I think that as with many other programs the same "heavy" approach that works on PCs with many resources will not work well on PPC (not the way they are today). A different solution to virus protection needs to be found to be useful.

But hey - thats just my opinion...
[General Topics] WingChun:
So from what ive read its still to early to be using a resource draining av on the ppc? If this is the case, how about Spybot S&D? Is spyware more of a threat than viruses? are they really that much different? I find that spybot updates more regularly(when i connnect wifi).
[General Topics] Rudegar:
as with virus's i believe that have to be made to support ppc's

in which case maybe due to spyware makers lack of innovation

that market have yet to take off
[General Topics] levenum:
WingChan: whether to use the software or not is a personal decision - my belief is: given the list of threats it is too early. Also I believe that the method used to protect against viruses on PC is not suitable for PPC because of the resource requirement. Something more efficient needs to be invented, perhaps taking advantage of difference in architecture between WM and desktop - like the fact that system files can not be corrupted but only hidden.

Note that BigDede preformed the test on HTC Advantage which has a 600+ MHz processor if I am not mistaken. I doubt the app would be as unnoticeable on my 200MHz Prophet.

But it is only a matter of time before someone writes a real and damaging virus for this platform as it becomes more and more common. So if you really value the info you have on there you might want to get protection already - although a good and frequent backup would be much better.

I haven't heard of spyware for Windows Mobile, only major one for BB - any one got any news on this?

There is a major difference between spyware and viruses:

Viruses try to cause as much damage as possible and their effects always become visible sooner or later, in many cases almost immediately after infection.

Spyware on the other hand, needs to hide and tries not to interfere in device operation as much as possible and show no sign of activity.
[General Topics] BigDede:
Very good explanation of the differences between Viruses and Spywares.

I agree also that it is too early today to really worry about having protection, but I prefer to be ready instead of regretting and wishing I had some protection.

Very good remark as well regarding the frequent backup ...

Need Help

Hello Everyone,

I'm not a developer, but I found your thread on this subject via Google and was hoping I could ask a question...

I'm able to download the Norton Smartphone Security Premier Edition Beta version, but when I try to install it (which I assume must be done first to my laptop, followed by sync'ing my laptop with my 8525) a "Self-Extracting Archive" window comes up that says: "Warning, one or more files skipped". This occurs when the installation process reaches "Extracting: SUPPORT\START.ICO 100%".

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks for your time!

A. J.
[General Topics] BigDede:
Hi

Maybe this warning is not a big deal, have you tried to install it by double clicking on the start.exe file ???
[General Topics] ajbt:
G.S./BigDede,

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.

If I understand your recommendation, I don't think that gets me where I need to be. However, it could always be user error on my part.

When I try to "Setup" the file I downloaded (called "NSSPB.exe") from Symantec, a window comes up that contains a button that says "Install". However, after I click on it, it gets to a point in the installation process that shows "Extracting: SUPPORT\START.ICO 100%", and the process simply stops and a small window comes up that says: "Warning, one or more files skipped".

In essence, it appears I have recieved the entire 4.04 MB of program files I downloaded, but something goes askew when I try to extract/install them.

I'm stumped...

Thanks again, A.J.
[General Topics] BigDede:
I'll extract the files and will zip them for you.

Send me via PM your email adress so I can send you the zip file

Cheers

I don´t know if this is the correct thread, but I suppose so. I installed Norton about 3 months ago, and has been working OK until today. I powered my phone and Norton is asking me for the unlock code, which I do not remember setting up, therefore...i don´t remember the code. So, I cannot unlock my phone. This is probably all my fault for not paying attention when I installed, but can anyone tell me if there is a way to uninstall or bypass this?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] OlinB:
if you prefer a KitKat rom not on this list by all means let me know about it. I really would like to be on Lollipop but the stability and pervasiveness of KitKat, as well as the full range of xPosed apps makes it a no brainer for me at least. When Lollipop grows up enough to offer full xPosed support I'll be there in a heartbeat!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pyraxiate:
Tweaked is still my go-to. Played with lollipop a bit but kit Kat gives about 25 % better battery life. ...

Tweaked, lean kernel, xposed, xblast. Perfect for whatever you need / want. Tethering also seems to be undetectable unlike lollipop even with the tethering bypass module.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TechKnowGrappler:
Personally I like SlimROM KK build 9

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

It seems you're open to trying lollipop.

I'd suggest using Orion LP Rom v1.7

It's lollipop v5.1.1 & there has a nice build for the Note 3 HLTE by Lord Ecko

I am using it & have most of my Xposed modules running on it. The few ones that aren't working have not been updated to work with lollipop so it's not an choose xposed framework compatibility issue.

Let me just say that I have no regrets finally ditching kitkat because my note 3 has never run this good. It's super fast, silky smooth & I get better battery life (both stand by & screen on time)
