A "nice prestige Android tablet" .... erm ... best thing to avoid viruses on it is to put it in a bucket of water and add some disinfectant.

Hope this helps.

If you install apks only from the official Android Market and well known sites like Amazon or Getjar, then the chances of getting a virus is minimal.

If you want to be safe then Lookout is a lightweight, free antivirus app for Android:

Many thanks Hermes, I will download this one on my phone as mine would expire in 2 weeks, I will also research farther if it is completable for tablets.

cheers.
