Anti-virus software for iPad

[Parrori1]

Just curious, does everyone use security software on their iPads? Right now I have none.

There is no anti virus software for iOS devices. App sandboxing rules prevent anything from causing a system wide infection as in a Windows computer.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

You're welcome.
While there are no anti virus apps for iOS devices, there are ways that scammers try to get malware on iOS devices by tricking you into downloading a malicious program onto your computer that can sync a corrupted app onto your device that's designed to steal your personal information. If you're careful about which sites you visit and you have up to date anti virus software an your computer you should be safe.
