Currently have Kaspersky IS on my laptop, can someone please tell me if I can/should also install an IS on my windows phone and android tablet? I don't know if it's the same application as the one on PC's or if Kaspersky have a specific one for tablets. I went to Currys for some advise, and they tried to palm me off with Mcaffee. Any advise from you guys, would be much appreciated.

I use lookout on my phone. But only because i like the phone tracking and able to disable/lock it remotely.
Otherwise no i wouldnt bother. Do you intentionally put dodgy files/apps etc on your phone/tablet?

I wasn't thinking of me putting any dodgy files, more of someone else hacking in0

Have Kaspersky on android tablet as Barclays give you a free licence with their internet banking. It is an android/mobile device specific version, which it has to be as threats are different.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
