During installation, the device shows information
about the progress of the installation. If you install an
application without a digital signature or certification,
the device displays a warning. Continue installation
only if you are sure of the origin and contents of the
application.
To start an installed application, locate it in the menu, and
select it. If the application does not have a default folder
defined, it is installed in the

Important: Your device can only support one
antivirus application. Having more than one application
with antivirus functionality could affect performance and
operation or cause the device to stop functioning.
After you install applications to a compatible memory
card, installation files (.sis, .sisx) remain in the device
memory. The files may use large amounts of memory and
prevent you from storing other files. If the .sis file is a
message attachment, delete the message from the
Messaging inbox.
