If there was a virus folk would pony up the web site about it. Instead they have some antivirus to sell us.

Many today don't know what a virus is or want to include trojans they installed.

No anti-virus for iPad

There is no need for antivirus on your iPad. In fact, there is no antivirus software for iPads.

Make sure you keep your iPad's software up to date, Apple regularly releases updates to prevent any possible virus attacks. Just go to Settings>General>Software Update to make sure you're up to date.

My option....

I am going with McAfee HD for iPad. Norton still only has the iPhone version and hasn't made an iPad version that supports the larger screen size, never mind all the extra viruses that exist on the iPad and not on the iPhone.
