As title describes...what's in your opinion the best free firewall? and the best non-free one?
...also keen to know...
...me too...
I'm using the Lookout software (anti-virus + firewall + data backup). Best of all, it's freeware!

Rui

Anyone recommend a good free or cheap utility to save usernames and passwords. I normally find most applications i want for free on the net but not willing to risk this one.
You want this for your PDA or for the PC? I know of a good one. KeePass Password safe. They have for both PDA and PC.
looking for one for my Artemis
They do have one for WM5. Here is the link:

Hi all,
Do You have any suggestions for a better calendar application (preferably freeware) than the native WM6 one?
Thanks in advance

Have a look at "DateLens". I realy like it. But it is not advised for "strong" user of the Calendar.

Pocket Informant is very good as time management tool. It's not free although was free at Handango last Friday.

I like the Today Agenda very much, it's good configurable and free.
Here is the link for the newest version.
I use AgendaOne. very easy to use.
www.developerone.com/agendaone/
For today, Agenda One with release 2 is my option, though Pocket Informant is also good.
AGENDA ONE is the best choice:faster than PI or Agenda Fusion. The only bad thing is that I can't find "free" iconpacks for it.
Best regards
I tend to use ThumbCal - its not free but as the name suggests its very easy to use without stylus!
I've tried PI, AgendaOne and Fusion today, but none of them can convince me to buy it; all have some nifty features, but none of them are that much better than the built in calendar.
PI has way too much configuration settings, yet still I can't configure it the way I want. Same for Fusion.
AgendaOne is a lot simpler, but that's also a limitation. Apart from lots of colors you can't change much in the appearance.
I have to say that PI and Fusion are probably very good, but I've tried them too short to get to know them very well.
On a previous pda with PalmOS I used Beyond Contacts. If that existed for Windows Mobile I'd buy it immediately. It looks a lot like PI and Fusion, but it worked much more intuitively than those two (as far as I can remember, it's been a few years)
Anyone know of a good free task list or checklist type freeware that you can use on your Dash? Also, any recommendations for a simple note taking freeware app? Could even be a wiki type tool for the Dash.
Just curious what you guys are using, thanks.

First question - Don´t know.. for sure someone else does....
Second question - Try Vieka Wordpad
Regards
Tnx, will check out Vieka Wordpad.
Oxios ToDo List is a bit more full-featured than the standard Task app in WM6.1. Give that a shot.
I just use tasks in gmail. http://mail.google.com/tasks/m
Hello Everyone..
Today I flashed the ROM for my HTC TP2 to the one listed below which comes with Windows Mobile 6.5.
ROM Name : WWE RHODIUM Cookie Energy style
ROM Version : 03.Jul.2010 WWE
ROM date: 03/15/10
RADIO Version : 3.45.25.14
Everything seems to be great so far and the only thing I now need is a good antivirus that can protect my device against viruses and other security issues.
Can anyone please recommend me a good antivirus or firewall solution that can be installed on Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional and which should not degrade the performance of the device..?
Any suggestions will really be helpfull..

why would you need an anti virus?
ive used WM for the past 3 to 4 years without an anti virus and i never had any virus problems ever since
but if youre really that concern then, turn off Beam, Bluetooth file sharing, and dont browse any sites that may contain a virus.....but thats AFIAK
cuz really WM phones arent really that immune to viruses AFIAK
Sorry to be a pain here...
but what if I recieve an infected email? Wont it harm my phone?
I do not browse those vulnerable websites nor have any habbit of downloading suspicious applications. I am concerened about email...
Please advise..
No way something can infect your WM phone. There are about 3 viruses for WM as far as I know, and they are all installed by cabs or other **** from warez.
If you are so concerned about privacy and viruses you may try Lookout. I really enjoy its localization service. It has a got a firewall and a anti-virus integrated.

pocket outlook doesnt execute any macros or other things like desktop outlook does
also, it would have to be a virus written for WM, viruses written for other (dekstop) windows wont infect windows mobile

Precisely, it's like a Windows virus harming a Mac computer. Windows Mobile is wayyyy different than desktop version of Windows, therefore the same viruses on desktop won't work on Windows Mobile.

Thanks.. I wasnt aware WM is not yet that exposed to viruses.. However, its better safe than to be sorry...
I did try mylookout.com and its awesome.. It hasn't affected my mobiles performance yet and find it good in terms of security and protection so far..

Thanks for clarifying my doubt.. I wasnt aware about this and indeed i now feel a bit assured ..
Samylines is right to want antivirus. The "I've never had a virus yet so don't need antivirus software" argument is like saying you'll never wear a seatbelt because you haven't yet had an accident. It's definitely prudent to have the assurance of antivirus especially in an industry that is changing and growing (and the threat of viruses increases) on a daily basis.
I don't know Kaspersky's Mobile antivirus, but I use their PC version and find it superb, so I imagine their mobile version would be good too. And I know that F-secure also make a good mobile antivirus.

as jackos pointed out there are not very many viruses out there for WM (he says 3, ive only heard of 2 though) and they are installed via cabs/exes, not email as the OP is concerned about, and i dont think an antivirus would be very good at stopping those, just like desktop antivirus isnt too good at stopping similar trojans on their OSes
the fact is your desktop usually gets infected via flash player, java, email macros and other means similar to that, and the phone simply doesnt support any of that, so its a lot harder to get infected even if there were more viruses
and with WM losing market share to iphone and android i doubt anyone is keen on making many new viruses for WM
maybe we should start a poll, how many people dont run antivirus and never had a virus
as for me, 10 years using palm, WM and blackberry, no AV, no viruses
I agree with you. I think the chances of getting a virus on a Windows Mobile device are extremely small. But you say yourself "its a lot harder to get infected..." not "its impossible to get infected".
Like you I have been using Windows Mobile for several years and never had a virus, but I'm accepting that the possibility exists. It's the same as insuring your house against the possibility of theft, even though it's very unlikely to happen. I don't understand why you're against someone taking the precaution of installing antivirus software "just in case"?
Peace people
All we can say, anyone who wants to use any antivirus and firewall for his/her Windows Mobile, he does have a few good options.. Else its upto that user to use it not.. isnt it
I did get the option I was looking for and thanks everyone for helping me out and sharing your knowledge here...

Top 5 WinMo Antivirus:
http://www.bestsecuritytips.com/xfsection+article.articleid+98.htm
There's free ones in there.
Personally I don't see a need for it. 4 years with different Windows Mobiles & no virus ever. The one time I did install it slowed the phone way down. Scanned every app downloaded. Pain in the ass if you ask me.
Cab file - Airscanner Mobile for Smartphone.
Honetly, I haven't heard of any virus for WM.
