Anyone have recommendation for Anti-Virus on the Fire?

Not anymore. I had Bitdefender on an older phone for a while, but that thing gave me more lagging grief than anything else. Just be careful with what you download and where you download from, pay attention to permissions and such...and you shouldn't have much of a problem.

Just recently installed avast mobile security for Android.
Use it on my home pc and glad its on the fire now.
Not sure why they give it bad reviews.
Works and installed fine for me.

I also use avast on my PC and think it works better than a lot of the paid ones out there. I had read that they had they tablet app but that is was not yet ready for the kindle. Now that is ready will have to give it a go.

I too have Avast running on my Fire - no problems so far.

If you like it and it works for you be sure to post your ratings on amazon as it got some bad reviews for some reason making it look like someone should not get it.
Needs some more positive reviews to offset
