Dont run 2 av programs at the same time.
It hits performance and they may block each other.

Thanks David and Rollo.

I think I'll try the free Lookout.

Still don't know whether to delete the old virus checker first?

FREE version is excellent.

Unable to assist sorry, my Kindle is an earlier one the 3G with keyboard.

I would suggest you ask Amozon who are very clued up on such matters.

I have a Kindle Fire HDX which has McAfee virus protection. They are stopping support on this so I need to change. Has anyone used the free Lookout Security from Amazon and if so is it OK?
Also do I need to uninstall McAfee first or down load new virus checker then uninstall?
Any techie help would be much appreciated. :-S
