Geekzone Reports - Company claims to have found the first virus for Pocket PCNews : Windows Mobile Pocket PC : Software, posted 17/07/2004 16:54:49 NZ

BitDefender now lists on its database of active malware what could possibly be the first of its type for Windows Mobile Pocket PC devices. The WinCE.Dust.A is executable program with a very low propagation rate, discovered on 16 July. It's reported to be a proof of concept for Pocket PC devices. The file size is 1530 bytes only.

Like the CABIR virus for Symbian smart phones, the WinCE.Dust.A requires user intervention for the install to occur. The BitDefender website does not list a current removal tool, or any more detailed information.
