Can the Axim get a virus like a pc does? If so, is there any PPC anti-virus software?

Yes, any PPC can get a virus, but it's extremely uncommon. I only know of one PPC anti-virus software program:

Well, if don't connect to internet, and install only official software, it's extremely hard that you get one.

McAfee's virus software will clean the ppc also. I had it for awhile when I had my first ppc(HP520) but then it started causing problems with my computer so I switched to Nortons.
