You probably cannot get one and you most definitely don’t need one. I couldn’t find out the specifications for this phone, so I don’t know what operating system it uses – thus the “probably” part. But I do know that it doesn’t use the Symbian S60 v8.x operating system, which means that it is not threatened seriously by viruses – thus the “definitely not” part. Currently, viruses threatened seriously only the phones using the Symbian S60 v8.x operating system. Proof-of-concept viruses exist also for phone running the PalmOS, Windows Mobile and Symbian UIQ operating systems – but they have no chance of surviving in the wild. If your phone uses neither of these operating systems, then there are neither viruses, nor anti-virus programs for it. In particular, if it is a Java-only phone, both viruses and anti-virus programs for it are not possible due to the restrictions of the Java security model.
