| 1330532 | 2013-02-28 04:49:00 | What are the options and which do you believe to be the more secure or 'robust' among the free offers? I have used Comodo internet security premium for the last two years on my pc and I can't fault it, and it is free. Unfortunately I don't think they make software for tabs yet. | Sanco (683) | ||

| 1330534 | 2013-02-28 05:22:00 | Yeah contrary to what you may get told, you don't actually need: Battery defenders Antivirus Security suites Task managers They're all a complete and utter waste! Something that may be useful: droidlost.com |

| 1330536 | 2013-02-28 05:59:00 | Yeah lots of them have that kind of thing in them, AirPush for example, but it's easy to disable the ads if you're running Jellybean. Just tap and hold on the notification, go to App Info then untick "Show notifications". Sorted ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1330537 | 2013-02-28 06:17:00 | Rather stop them getting on in the first place thanks. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1330538 | 2013-02-28 06:19:00 | Well technically they're just ads, they're not *actually* viruses, and it's how devs pay for games like that 101 in 1 games your wifey downloaded :D | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1330539 | 2013-02-28 06:39:00 | Dunno, I thought that accessing the net would carry risks. Perhaps I am paranoid, but then I think of them days when my friends used to say to me: "get Mac and you won't need no firewall and virus scan" ... yeah, those were the days... | Sanco (683) | ||
