Is it necessary to use/place anti-virus security on an iPad?

What Alot of people don't know there are no viruses on iPhone, iPad, or Android devices. They are based on Linux and there are no real known viruses on Linux. There are only untrusted apps that might try to read your personal info. Only needed on Windows operating system. I'm a software developer for android devices and beta tester for virus programs on Windows.

Hi Sherry... Internet Security is better than the Antivirus version... there's only one reason why and that is because the Internet Security version also has a firewall to protect you from hackers trying to get into your computer directly. The real purpose of the Antivirus version are for systems that are not connected to the internet 24 hours/day.

It does't come with pre-loaded anti virus software. You'll have to purchase and install one.

It came without an antivirus program but since you probably want to upgrade up from buggy XP why not switch to Ubuntu and eliminate the need for an antivirus program?

The one I received does not hold the iPad security. I personally wouldn't recommend it...sorry for not being able to respond earlier..

Yes, it's a home key. Although it makes sense on the iPad, who knows what happens when connected on a computer?

I did not remove any anti virus. I have periodically used the stick to clean up any stray new attacks. I also added a malware program to protect my back. So I have three defense programs active.

Yeah before doing so you should install a anti-virus system probably Webroot is the best. The only reason you should install a anti-virus is so you won't end up having a virus like I did.

Yes - that is how I am using it - I love the little bugger - however if what you are working on needs security - this is not the answer. Hope this helps.

Hello, No it does not because it does not need it. If someone is trying to sell you a anti virus program for macs, its a scam. All the anti virus programs will do is make your mac run slower. Thanks, Chris Betamacs

No, you need to take the iPad out of whatever case you have it in or if only the magnetic cover, you need to remove that also. The iPad snaps into the mount snuggly. I have found it very easy to use and have really enjoyed the wide angle it gives for doing agility with my dog.

No. The screen is a thin picture frame that snaps into the plastic backing to encapsulate the iPad. Then a rubber outer cover wraps around the back and edges of iPad (in front). Though the iPad will stick it would more easily get dislodged if dropped. And you have the rubber home button hanging there. You should cut this off. Or you could use an Xacto knife to cut the plastic film off the cover frame?I barely notice this cover......only occasional non sensitive button......

It comes with virus protection for a limited time. However, you could get free virus protection software from http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus.

Yes you can do that with the basic model. This one comes with IOS Zone Firewall and Intrusion Prevention Security feature.

That is up to you. I always use secure sites. I have never had any problems.

There should be no issue with the square and the iPad mini. You shouldn't need any extensions.
