Which tablet platform is most secure?

Hi, Since more and more PC users moves they activities to the mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones( http://www.npd.com/wps/portal/npd/us/news/press-releases/37-percent-of-pc-users-migrate-activities-to-mobile-devices-according-to-the-npd-group/[^] ) the one of the biggest questions is the platform security. PC's are guarded by well established anti-fishing/virus programs, but mobile systems very frequently do not have'em at all. Which platform is most secure right now, and what are perspectives? Thanks.

All platforms are secure, but it is up to you the user to ensure you install software protection such as anti-virus etc. It only becomes insecure when you start accessing the internet.

But the preferrable use of the tablets/smartphones is Internet and web services.

The issues remains the same. Whichever device you choose you will need to ensure it has adequate security software installed.

What would be you AV software recommendations for Android and iOS? Now I use the Lookout for Android. Is this a good one? Thanks.

Most likely, but how do you judge "good"? Try searching for other users' experiences and product reviews.

This what I usually do. But always would like to have an opinion from another developers, which have wide experience in this area.

Then searching via Google will be more likely to find them.
