should i download security software (antivirus) ? will it accept most antivirus software? Is using it without antivirus software a bad idea?

Question

Denise · Accepted Answer

I have never downloaded antivirus software and have never had even a hint of a problem, unlike my laptop computer, which I keep up-to-date with antivirus protection.

You should be fine without Antivirus software. Most software will just slow down your Kindle and unless you are trying to pirate or do anything illegal you won't have a problem with viruses.

If you're planning to regularly use the online functionality, then anti-virus software is definitely a good idea (as with most tablets and similar mobile devices).

We bought ours via Best Buy and it came with a 6-month AV-AS software trial.

I recommend all Andriod users download some form of Anti-Virus from either Google Play or Amazon app store.

Always Anti Virus should always be the very first thing you buy. I would highly recommend always backing up your pictures on a regular basis to a cloud service or an external drive and personally I always burn to a DVD disc as well and I always save a copy to an other external drive that I have a relative keep.Pictures are irreplceable if you fail to safe guard them.

I have mine on Norton antivirus and you can get that through Amazon's website. I don't believe that it would take most antivirus software, but it DOES take Norton though.
