Trojan horse rears its head on Palms

A software programmer has created the first known Trojan horse for a Palm, raising questions about a possible downside to the company's legions of loyal software developers.

A malicious program masquerading as an illegal, but free, version of the popular gaming application Liberty has been making the rounds of Palm newsgroups and chat rooms since late last week. The arrival of the software, which has the potential to wipe out all the programs stored on the device, is believed to be the first Trojan horse for the Palm.

Visor Central was warning people about this on the 27 or 28th. Makes me rethink the McAffee virus software.
