I purchased an RCA tablet yesterday at Walmart. i,'m just learning to use it (I'm used to Windows XP). the tablet is using Android 4.2, Jelly Bean if that's important. there are 8GB memory. question is, what kind of protection such as firewalls & antivirus are available? thanks for your help (I'm typing this on the tablet so sorry for any punctuation errors).

They have some security apps you can download

Go to the app store and start searching. Youll find dozens of free and low cost apps

"google play" is the store/website to get your appsthere is an icon/link already on the table to take you therethen just search anti virus and pick the one that appeals to you (after you read the reviews)avast, avg, and many others have Android versions available

Thanks, friends for your input. Doing a little more experimenting I did notice some security related apps. This is a fairly new tablet from RCA. I'm going to check further to see if there is a built in firewall.

Do you have to sign up with Google E Mail in order to down load apps and run them?
