updating my Kaspersky
Jan 28, 2014 11:27PM PST

I have Kaspersky. It's time to update it. Kaspersky now has Multi Device protection (PC, tablet or smartphone) and I'm deciding between that and a version without smartphone protection. I don't know that I really need it for my iPhone because of the way I use my phone. I'd like input from iPhone owners who are currently using Kaspersky on their phone to hear in what ways they are satisfied or dissatisfied with in running it on their phones.

So far the virus issue is a Windows issue.

But it has trained folk to buy such for their other computers. I think the antivirus companies are missing a market with the Smart TV which has an OS too.

....like any Apple device are less likely targets for viruses, malware, and other internet attacks than any other OS (phone or computer). There is no proven threat to be reported and paying more to get protection for the device is a waste of $$ currently.
