Do I need antivirus on my iPad?

Hi, Please could someone tell me if I need antivirus on my ipad2? Only had it a couple of days but just wanted to make sure before I did any banking etc.
Thanks in advance.
Trish

You should be aware that the iPad works on wireless. If you are entering your ID & password for a bank site, your wireless signal could be intercepted by someone, especially if you are in a public WiFi location.

  • Do I need antivirus software for iPad and iPhone

    I'm new to the apple world and enjoying the gadgets.  Just wondering if I need to purchase antivirus software for my iPad and iPhone.

    Anti virus software doesnt' really exist because it's not needed. The way things are coded viruses won't run on the iPad's operating system.

    But you could have viruses that may not effect an iOS device or even a Mac, but could easily be unwittingly passed on to PC users. So, if you send and receive a lot of email with attachments,and many of your receivers are PC users, you may consider whether you want to risk forwarding them a virus, etc.

  • Does my new Ipad and Ipod need antivirus protection?

    Does my new Ipad and Ipod need antivirus protection?

    well, it depends on how you define a virus, theorically, ios is not prone to viruses, and since ios has built-in security measures (link bellow) theres nothing to fear
    and also-since there are more windows users (in theory) than ios users (and again the security) it will be way easier to target windows OS then IOS

  • I have McAfee on my pc, do I need it on my iPad? Thanks

    I have McAfee on my PC, so do I need this on my iPad? Thanks

    While iPads and iPhones are not technically immune to virus or malware issues, they are extremely resilient and Apple issues security patches in their Software Updates on a frequent basis to combat any security concerns.  At the moment it is not possible to even install an application that could run as an Antivirus application, let alone find one.
    So, you are as safe as possible without one for now, assuming you continue to install Software Updates in a timely manner.

    Is any antivirus program needed for using I PAD2 on wifi networks away from home?
    Do Androids need antivirus programs?

    There aren't any anti virus programs for iOS devices such as iPad's because it's not necessary. You should be fine using hotspot Wi Fi networks.
    Check the website for the non Apple device for a/v support.

    If your location does’t have wifi to use with the Apple TV, use a portable router.

  • Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

    Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

    yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.
