My suggestion: Don't go for any anti-virus.No mobile virus can install itself automatically on a phone.Only after the user "unknowingly" gives it permission to get installed,can it do it's dirty work.So,just be safe and don't install any untrusted applications.

Oh and by the way if somebody does a link to some good free mobile anti-virus,do post it here.:D

I suggest don't install antivirus on ur s40 or s60.There is absolutely no need.AFAIK there is no av for s40.Just deny bluetooth request from unknown devices & u r completely safe. :) Don't spend ur money on av,which do nothing,but only sucks ur ram.
