Android tablet AV protection
Just bought the wife one of these:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/viewpad-7-touch-tablet-511340
It's great but doesn't have any AV installed so can anyone suggest a good free AV app. which is really simple to set up and operate. She's even less tecchie than me so what would be involved in installing and setting up such software?
Cheers as always.

Re: Android tablet AV protection
Thanks for that. 
Been looking at reviews of AVG and Lookout so far hoping to find the simplest...

Re: Android tablet AV protection
After reading the reviews I plumped for Lookout and have shown the missus how to install and use it. So far, so good. 
Ps. I liked the Viewpad7 sooo much I bought myself one too.

Re: Android tablet AV protection
And now they can log everything you do, type or say to your tablet and all legally due to the permissions you accepted upon install.

Re: Android tablet AV protection
I have tried a couple of AV apps for droid & find them to be slightly resource hungry, but the AVG one was slightly quicker doing what it needed to do.

Re: Android tablet AV protection
I have installed AVG free on 3 mobile phones.
No issues - nice and easy to use.

Re: Android tablet AV protection
Thanks, might give that one a go when we've given Lookout a fair crack at protecting us....
I must say I'm really impressed with the Viewpad7 for the price - it's perfect for what we need.
