Palm is /not/ Windows. You probably do not need any anti-virus software
unless you get yourself involved in risky (potentially malicious) code and
Web sites.
In any case, here is the page you were probably looking for:

I suspect that anti-virus software for Palm targets those who are deceived
by bad experiences with non-secure operating systems. They reckon they can
earn a few bucks for programs that offer protection against potential
attacks that will never ever strike.
Hope it helps,
Roy
PS - remember that Palm handhelds have remote access capabilities (SSH,
telnet, VNC etc.) but do not yet allow access and control from the outside.
It is not practical because they are _mobile_. You can use your remote
control to affect your TV, but not the TV to affect your remote control.
