Windows mobile antivirus ?

As you know everyone that has a windows PC is recommended to own some type of antivirus software. Why because its the hackers choice of operating system to jack or infect. There are numerous trojans,spyware,malware you name it. Is it safe to say or make a statement that windows mobile is in the same boat, I think not. To date there is no known pocket PC virus,spyware,malware affecting the current windows mobile OS. Yes there is a small list of ones that exist as seen in this link.
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/virus/virus.htm even then all but one of them attack actual windows mobile devices (winmo 2003). Yes there will be those that say windows mobile is based on Windows CE which is true but it is written different. So my question goes back to the title is virus software worth the money on a windows mobile platform? if you were to get infected by said virus you would simply do a hardrest and you device would go back to factory settings. IM sure as the time progress there will be need for them. If your interested these are some virus programs and spyware removal application
