Windows Mobile 6.5, 6.1, 6.0 and 5.0The total was $27.84. But then I went thru it again and it was $7.34 (it had been less than 2 months for that renewal). I read that you get the discount as long as you re-new within 2 months.

Windows Mobile and Windows Phone are two completely different platforms. Don't confuse the two. Windows Mobile is the old, discontinued platform, and Windows Phone is the new platform. It's not a rewrite of Windows Mobile; it's a completely new OS.
That being said, there is no use for an AV software on Windows Phone. Microsoft has restricted Windows Phone apps to such an extent that an AV app wouldn't be able to do much more than check its own files and its own memory, and wouldn't be able to touch (or check) anything else.
Eset reps have stated numerous times on the forums that there are no plans to create a Windows Phone version of their AV app for exactly these reasons.
If you need an app that helps you locate your phone, then you should use the built-in Windows Phone Service "Find My Phone" (More details can be found here: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp7/basics/find-a-lost-phone).
