What type of virus protection is available for the iPad?

I was wondering what type of protection is available for my iPad while browsing the web?

Viruses and other malware have to be installed and software installation is only available through the iTunes App Store. Besides that few if any of the technologies that are used to install/support browser based viruses are supported on the IOS. In fact that is one of Steve Jobs' arguments against supporting the very vulnerable Flash media on iOS.

  • Is there a virus protection software available for the ipad 2?

    IS there any form of virus protection softward available for the ipad 2? Have seen AVG etc for ipad 2 talked about.

    It's not strictly correct to say there are no viruses or to be more accurate 'malware' for i-devices as there are
    There isn't. Provide links/proof if there are.
    If you really are an admin for McAfee then you should know what a virus is, and that there are none for iOS. If there were a virus for iOS it would be all over the news. It is also true to say there is no malware for stock iOS devices. If you've jailbroken your device, then maybe so, but you've purposefully put yourself at risk.
    hence the last 2 iOS updates which were patching various vulnerabilities.
    Yes, just like any OS, there have been vulnerabilities that, potentially, could be used for malware purposes, but iOS has been available for over 4 years and still not one virus or malware breakout. If you knew anything about the way iOS works, and how apps get approved, installed and run, you would know why a virus is virtually impossible, and even a trojan is very unlikely.
    Apple has a policy of never discussing security issues as they like to pretend that their products are totally immune, but they aren't.
    Like lots of companies, Apple don't discuss security vulnerabilities BEFORE they are fixed, because that would be irresponsible and make it easier for hackers to exploit. Apple have never pretended their products are totally immune. Use your brain, if Apple thought their products were immune, why would they release regular security updates?
    Companies like McAfee make money out of spreading FUD and making people believe they have to fork out lots of money for so-called "protection" that in most cases they don't need and doesn't work for unknown issues anyway. And now they're trying to prey on uninformed Windows users, who after years of being subjected to the real threat of viruses and malware now think they need the same for iOS devices.

    As the other poster says, apple doesn't place their seel of approval or recommend any printing app. search on here and read reviews on teh app store adn web site reviews to find the best app for your purposes. (SJ did respond to an email about printing from iPad by saying "be patient", so it might be in a future upgrade).

  • HT3983 when will flash drive be available for the iPad?

    will flash drive be available for the iPad.

    And why would you be asking that in a Boot Camp/Windows forum?
    Wouldn't it be better asked in the iPad area?
    By the way, these are all "user to user" forums, Apple just host's the web site and never contribute. At least officially anyway.

  • What kind of virus protection to use for

    wondering what kind of virus protection would be able to use although that the I'Macs has Melware and also what kind of security system would go good with a time capsule?
    thanks
    Richard Descoteaux Jr.

    Regarding the anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.
    As for the security system for a Time Capsule, what kind of security system are you referring to? If you want your backups to be encrypted, see:
    http://pondini.org/TM/31.html
    If that's not it, you'll need to be more specific.
