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. When you are
downloading the JAR file, you may
need to enter a user name and
password to access the server. You
obtain these from the supplier or
manufacturer of the application.

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.
