    Hi,
    I've got the Acer A500 for my son for Christmas and want to set it up with antivirus before I give it to him. He'll use it for internet - youtube, minecraft, online games etc..
    What would be the best antivirus to get for his tablet?

    The A500 is running Android 3.0 so I'd say there is not "best" AV for it.
    I'm not saying that there is not rouge apps, virus and malware for Android, I'm just saying that there is no AV program out that scan for Android viruses.

    Here is a link to a ready good guide on how to secure your Android device:

    There atleast 10 AV programs for android and its quickly growing. Languy99 on Youtube reviewed all of them that were out a few months ago. I havent watched the videos, there a few hours in total, if you interested you might as well do it though.
