Hi all
Wondering if anyone can help with this. Was just wondering if anyone could
recommend a good and accessible anti-virus app/programme I could put on my IPad
and IPhone??
My reason for asking is that a friend of mine has just managed to get a
very very nasty virus on his Mac,
. It's a toggle, so maybe it got toggled off accidentally.
