What recommended tablet please?

I agree

I looked at the Sony Nexus, the screen seems to be a big bigger. I asked the sales assistant a few questions about it. He said not to put a virus protection on as this would slow it down, is this true please?

If you are going to be connected to the internet at all - you need some form of Virus protection

I regularly scan my machines , and am very wary about attachments

Thats what I thought mate Sony seems Okay, any users happy with Sony please?

You will need virus protection on an android machine, not required for iPad as all software is installed through the app store, so already checked.

Agreed - the nature of ios and the closed system that Apple operate for software does mean that there are no viruses (that I am aware of) that affect ios. But even if it can't do anything on ios an virus infected file can still be passed on to another machine.

Malware can still exist on ios and run with human intervention, eg running an unexpected attachment on an email, even if it comes from a known source. How much harm that could do is anybody's guess, so just don't open unexpected/unsolicited attachments etc. and you should be pretty safe.

Apple have a pretty good record so far as far as viruses are concerned, and where there have been occasional issues I believe it's been where users have initiated and given permission for something to run rather than something the operating system allows to run unbeknown to the user. Android has been designed as a much more open system which does make it more vulnerable.

That said, due diligence is needed whatever system you are using!

I have an iPad but wish it was a Sony Tablet Z.

Quells are quite good for sea-sickness!
