Default Spyware on 7100t

Please Login to Remove!

Does anyone know of a good way to check your Blackberry 7100t for spyware and remove it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm highly doubt spyware written for the Blackberry OS exists.

Feel free to post any links to information that says otherwise.

As a general rule... no Microsoft = no Spyware.

If there was spyware written by someone else, it would need need to by signed to monitor secure applications. You would need to manually install the spyware application yourself. I suppose its feasible however unlikely.

I will write and sell you a program to detect Spyware on your BB. For free it will also detect viruses. All for the low, low price of $99.99 with free daily updates.

JUT KIDDING FOLKS.

Not even feasible - how are you going to get to the Address Book and mailer software. RIM has those APIs under wraps.

If BlackBerries themselves are immune from viruses, and if they do not put the networks they are connected to at potential risk, then why this:
