Another Day With My PC

Many are wondering if Microsoft’s operating system for PDAs and smart phones experience the same problems, such as virus and spyware infestation, that its PC counterpart is constantly being subjected to. Both programs technically perform similar functions. Hence, it shouldn’t be surprising if your smart phone’s OS experience crashes due to Windows registry errors.

Surprisingly though, mobile phone operating systems rarely experience most of the problems that are plaguing XP and Vista. Could it be that Windows Mobile 6, or its predecessor, was designed more carefully or meticulously than its PC versions?

Malware attacks on PDAs and smart phones are not very common. However, it usually just takes one attack in order for the malicious application to cause serious problems to your phone. The usual solution for mobile phone owners is to reinstall their unit’s OS. System utilities, such as registry cleaners or malware removers, are not usually or readily available to PDA or smart phone users.

Time will come when antiviruses or anti-spyware programs would already be available for mobile phone operating systems. PDAs and smart phones are expected to evolve into a compact but fully functional PC in just a few years time. Until then, you can expect a less complicated or troublesome time with your mobile unit.
