Can anyone tell me please?

I have just got my daughter one of those tablet things today and I have not got a clue about them at all but, I have since been told that some of them need anti virus installed the same as a pc is this correct? The one I have purchased is the slate view quest with google android if that makes sense to anyone. I really dont have a clue but would really like to know if I should be getting anti virus put on it thanks.

    just for surfing the internet then you don't need any antivirus, also if you only install trusted apps form trusted sources then you also dont require it, ie to get angry birds download it from somewhere legitimate like getjar and not 'getappsforfree.blah'
