Sounds like Best Buy is trying to make some extra bucks from anyone who purchases an iPad. You'd be wasting your money if you purchased this protection. There are currently no viruses in the wild that can infect an iPad. The app based operating system and app sandboxing make it impossible for a conventional virus that can infect a Windows computer from infecting an iOS device.

It's general Internet security software, in this case Titanium Internet Security license for use on 3 devices, i.e. PC, Mac, Android, etc.

It does not come pre-installed, rather a license code for use on the devices you choose to add it to.

In regards to the iPad, there is no such beast. It's just a cheap value-add-on for your purchase to make it look like you get more for your money. Handy if you have a PC or Mac that requires security software.
