Default antivirus for windows mobile?

Got a new phone yesterday which has Windows Mobile installed on it. It is
recommended that I get some form of antivirus. I have seen the Trend Micro
one. Are there any other options I should consider? Is there a free one
about that is good, like avast for windows?
Phone model is Lobster 700tv if it is important.

Don't fret, all this talk of antivirus for mobile phones is cobblers.

I read an article recommending it recently, unsurprisingly all based on
a press release from Orange who are, guess what, now reselling
antivirus solutions for mobile phones.

Waste of time and money. Just don't install anything you don't trust -
problem solved.

Thankyou Steph.
I was browsing for some java midlets (free ones) and find alot of them are
unsigned. Is there an official site somewhere that has signed midlets? Or
a website that is known trustworthy for safe midlets?
Its easy to say don't install anything I do not trust, and I always follow
that theory on a PC but I do not know at the moment which resources are
trustworthy :-)
