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 Nseries PC 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.
