Best Answer

really anything connected to the internet can get a virus, even game systems like psp's can get viruses. allthough, the kindle fire dose have a good built in virus-scanner, so you should be okay. However if you suspect yourself of having a virus you should delete whatever programs you suspect of holding this virus. i have this same question, I thought it was impossible to get viruses for the kindle fire, turns out I was wrong. Allthough I wouldn't worry too much, I've never gotten a virus before.

What is the best virus protection for Kindle Fire?

The Kindle Fire is vulnerable on two accounts: it connects to the Internet and it runs a modified Android operating system. According to Nerds On Call, any device connected to the Internet should have some form of malware protection. On top of that, Android is the most targeted mobile operating system for malware attacks. While anti-virus isn't as crucial on your Kindle as it would be on your computer, it does lend an extra layer of protection.
