    Hi all,
    Bought a Samsung Galaxy tablet today and think it's fantastic. Can anybody recommend an antivirus to protect the machine?

    Thanks J

    I personally wouldn't bother with one but avast is free and has some handy features besides anti-virus.

    Same here, between all the Anti-Viruses I downloaded - Avast is miles better :D

    It's a load of scaremongering, You don't need one on android.

    Thanks guys. One last question, what about cookies on the tablet (using memory)?

    Cookies are absolutely miniscule files. All of them combined on my desktop is barely 1MB.
    They wont have any effect on your memory
