I never put virus protection on my other Kindle. However, I do access internet with it and with the slightly larger screen, might do so more now. Any recommendations for free or nearly free virus protection?

Thanks!

I use CM Security from Cheetah Mobile. It's free, and in the Appstore.

After seeing Spoiled recommend this earlier, I put it on my Kindle, and have had no problems.

That Spoiled is smart. :)

Grrrrr . . . this is the SECOND time I tried to post in General Discussion and my thread ended up here. Not sure why I can't do this right??

Anyway, "purchased" CM Security - thanks!

spoiled_lil_boy - I opened the app and scanned. It found 92.4MB of "junk" - which I "cleaned", but no viruses, etc

Yeah the "junk" isn't really harmful and CM is often "finding" memory the system would be reusing anyway if it had to, so I'm not all that diligent about doing regular cleanings. The anti-virus, though, is great peace-of-mind. I suppose it works; I never really go anywhere or do anything which is all that dangerous.
