Important: Only install and use applications and other software from trusted
sources, such as applications that are Symbian Signed or have passed the Java
Verified™ testing.
Before installing an application, check the following:
● View the application type, version number, and the supplier or manufacturer of
the application. Select Options > View details.
● View the security certificate details of the application. Select Details: >
Certificates: > View details. Control the use of digital certificates in Certificate
management.
If you install a file that contains an update or repair to an existing application, you
can only restore the original application if you have the original installation file or
a full backup copy of the removed software package. To restore the original
application, remove the application, and install the application again from the
original installation file or the backup copy.
The JAR file is required for installing Java applications. If it is missing, the device
may ask you to download it. If there is no access point defined for the application,
you are asked to select one.

Install. In other applications, select the installation file to start the installation.
During installation, the device shows information about the progress of the
installation. If you install an application without a digital signature or
certification, the device displays a warning. Continue installation only if you are
sure of the origin and contents of the application.
Open an installed application — Select the application in the menu. If the
application does not have a default folder defined, it is installed in the Installed
apps. folder in the main menu.

Important: Your device can only support one antivirus application. Having
more than one application with antivirus functionality could affect performance
and operation or cause the device to stop functioning.
After you install applications to a compatible memory card, installation files
(.sis, .sisx) remain in the device memory. The files may use large amounts of memory
and prevent you from storing other files. To maintain sufficient memory, use Nokia
Ovi Suite to back up installation files to a compatible PC, then use the file manager
to remove the installation files from the device memory. If the .sis file is a message
attachment, delete the message from the Messaging inbox.
