Can a Tablet Really Get a Virus?
iPads are locked down tightly, so classic viruses are extremely rare; Android tablets can pick up adware or rogue apps but rarely true viruses. The real culprits are scam pop-ups, calendar spam, hijacked browsers and adware — annoying and sometimes dangerous, but fixable.
