Security

[tathraman]

Hi! I'm new to Android and have recently purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad tablet. It came with a 7 day trial McAfee Security, now expired. Do I need to install any security apps - firewall, anti virus etc?
TIA

Hello tathraman. :wavey: Welcome to Android Forums, and congrats on the new tablet. :thumb:

As for an anti virus app, I'd say no. So long as you're cautious, it's probably not needed. For (much) more on the subject, I recommend a read through this thread.

If after that, you still think you'd like to use an anti virus app, I've seen this one recommended by a lot of people.

Hope that helps, and that you enjoy your time here.
