any anti virus app needed?

WP is so secure that system files can't be accessed by any apps.
Even the apps from store operates in a limited sandbox and can't access system areas.

There are some bogus apps available in WP, claiming as an antivirus. Don't download.
(The apps apart from store, won't even install in your WP - unless you got a dev account associated with your Microsoft account)

Been using PC for quite a few years now. Never had an AV, not likely putting one on in the near future. My PCs have been infected a couple of times due to friends trying stuff and the XP's weakness of "autoplay". Disinfected it myself using nothing more than Hijack this, Ava Find, Process Explorer, Google and some registry edits here and there. A linux disk is handy too.

I know what I do and I am confident without an AV :)

BTW, I disinfected it much faster than a full PC scan (took me some 30 min each time including the mandatory couple of reboots). So much for AV :D

If its the back cover thats causing the shutter button trouble, just open and put it on again.

That is one of the components of the "others" bug. AFAIK, GDR2 or later phones will take care of the stuff themselves.

downloaded a ppt from a mail...
but when i tired to open it could not find it/?
where did it go?

Open the Office app to see the downloaded ppt.

how to copy an entire paragraph....?
anyway to do that?

Tap on a word to get it selected. Now move the cursors at the beginneind and end of the word that you just selcted by dragging them to wherever in the text box you want. Tap the small small copy icon that appears in the text-prediction area.
