Hi Donna, There's no need to worry about getting a virus at present. Your iDevice is designed in such a way that prevents this from happening. See my earlier note for more details on this.
Obviously it's always a good practice to be careful about what you do online and what you open. However being worried about this is not something you'll need to be thinking about constantly. Your device is very secure, and is actually the most secure mobile device you can own right now. So I hope this eases your mind a bit. It sounds like you're a very intelligent web user, because you are careful. If you keep being smart you will have no worries at all and your iDevices will serve you well. I hope this helps and I wish you and yours a lovely weekend!!!

I read most of my emails on my iPhone or iPad. I don't open any suspicous or questionable emails. I'm still afraid of possibly getting a virus and would like to be able to do an ocasional scan for viruses.
