Antivirus

[mericjohnson]

How concerned should I be about running an antivirus app? If there is a need can anyone suggest a excellent app for that purpose?

this is a pretty vicious debate, no there are not a lot of virii out there for Android so on that hand you do not need to worry. On the other, there are some, and probably more to come.

I personally would recommend you install something like Lookout (available in the Market). Gives you antivirus as well as tablet locator function. I have tried some of the others, but keep coming back to this one.

cheers,

As of now, McAfee is only one i found for Tablets.

McAfee and Norton both have products, I have found them to be too intrusive

I'm using AVG and Lookout ( both free ) on mine with no apparent performance issues.
