Commonly the WinCE O.S. was considered safe as, being based on a different CPU it was not subject to the attacks of the x86 viruses. During last times there were some tries to demostrate the possibility to create a virus applied to the Arm powered Win O.S. so the risks with the new Pda/phone are rising.
Pdas AntiVirus
There are really few known virus, at this time, designed to atack mobile O.S., some of which are proof of concept 
only (which means that they do not represent a real danger for the Pda users but only an experiment to check which
ways and technologies can be used to attack a mobile system.

THE FIRST VIRUSES DISCOVERED
Its name is Duts (or Dust) but the possibilities that it can hit your Pda are low, almost as the probability that you open
the door to a thief by your own willing. Read HERE

The above can suggest that Pocket PC Antivirus Becomes a Necessity as you can read in this CeWindows
article (the test includes also links to learn more about mentioned PPC viruses). 
Notwithstanding their article i consider the actual status for Pdas users need to be of Attention only as shown
by the Yellow Light signal shown on top. (The light will turn RED when it will be necessary to use antivirus)
In the meantime HTC in order to prevent the risk got an agreament with C.A. to add Antivirus to their PDA.See HERE
Obviously this is my opinion only and somebody may wish to use now an antivirus program to prevent problems,
so you can find here a list of the available Antivirus for Pda:

Actual conclusion (February 05) :
The risk to get a virus infection for your PDA is quite LOW.
Anyway your device could be another channel to infect your Desk computer.
If you use your PPC to check the mail and thence transfer the same (attachments included) on your desk
computer the transferred files can include some x86 virus without any direct effect on your pda.
First of all always update your Desk Antivirus whatever you are using.
