I have purchased a tablet computer for my daughter and want to make sure she stays safe on it. Is there yet a need for security software on the honeycomb os? If so, what would be the best software to secure the tablet and how about software to keep an eye on what she's doing on the internet as well.

Thanks for the information!

By "keep an eye on what she's doing on the internet" do you mean:
make sure she's not going to any 18+ sites
or
make sure if she accidentally clicks on a link she won't get a horrible tablet eating virus
If it's the latter I would recommend webroot. It scans all downloaded apps, in addition to files and folders. It also has a safe browsing feature :). You can get a free version of it on the android market
I'm not sure whether antivirus is needed on honeycomb at this point, but it's always better to be safe.

I mean both actually. I would like to filter where she goes, but also be able to review where she has gone and what she does. I currently have Home Guard Viewer on our desktop and was hoping for something similar on a tablet.
