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. To maintain sufficient memory, use Nokia

Ovi Suite to back up installation files to a compatible PC, then use the file manager

to remove the installation files from the device memory. If the .sis file is a message

attachment, delete the message from the Messaging inbox.
