Hi,
Before anyone gets upset, I'm here because I am not sure where to turn. I have a child mostly bedridden, and using games on his Kindle Fire gets him through medical procedures such as IV infusions, etc. When he is in a lot of pain, he dives into Kindle games.
I did a little research (I don't have vast amounts of time with sickly kids - yup two of 'em) and found that supposedly if I downloaded one of the virus cleaners from the Amazon App Store from within the Kindle, it should have been vetted and virus free. But it didn't make it better, and could have made it worse. My son does not want to lose his progress on Pixel Gun 3D, nor his other games. He's been playing for a long time (more than he should have, but due to painful nights, he has a lot of time logged into games), so he would be devastated to lose everything. So rebooting is out. He doesn't need yet another disappointment. He can't play soccer anymore, he can't even go outside, he is missing a ton of school, and now his Kindle is misbehaving. Talk about his "last straw." And he can't even play with his nerf guns because it hurts his IV arm. I want something to go right for him.
Any recommendations of something to clean up his Kindle without losing everything? He has Kindle Fire HD 8.0. Please help. I've tried searching sites, but it is too time consuming and I'd rather be beside his side, or with his sister, than trying a bunch of things that don't work.
Thank you,
blueSprite

Malwarebytes has a version for Android / Kindle. I have it on my mom's Kindle, and it has stopped over 300 infection attempts.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Thank you, I will try that. Does it catch viruses that are already on the Kindle, or does it only prevent new ones in the process of trying to put themselves on the device?
BTW, the "Message Closed" below is because I accidentally posted the same message twice. I didn't want anyone to think I posted anything nasty that had to be removed!
Thank you for your response,

It's basically a full antivirus. It finds anything already on the device, and catches any further attempts. Running it manually every so often can't hurt either.
I also use Malwarebytes on my family's other systems as well, as it can find things that are basically brand new.

Some of us have been particularly *cough* grouchy *cough* this fine Monday morning, and then we read your post. I'm an asshat.
Best of luck, blueSprite ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Thanks. I'm hoping I can return here soon with great reports of good health for both little ones. Then I'll jump in the fray of whatever is going on here that day  Hope all is well with you and your loved ones - pls give them all extra hugs today.

30C/87F, sunny and nary a breeze in the air. Lovin' it! 
And yes, I'm spending most of the day writing code. Code, beautiful, code...

Ha ha, no! In air-conditioned comfort, with large windows letting in these views[^].
Can't eat anything crunchy for a week as I've just had 8 front teeth worked on. Freedom next Thursday when my temporary veneers are history.

Ravi, you linked to a directory rather than to an image.

Although the Pickering pic was in response to Richard's post[^].

Actually Willowdale - about 40 minutes west of Pickering. Do you live in Pickering?

No, I'm in England, but my brother lives there. It's a few years since we visited but thought it a really nice place. Although the year we were there (in June) the weather was quite mild.

Yes, Pickering is a lovely town. I make a fool of myself[^] on keyboards at the Open Studio Art Cafe in Pickering about every Friday.

I went out with the lads on a 150K ride in this weather and chewed up and spat out. Lovely, lovely day.
Don't worry - we'll pay for it in a couple of months.
cheers

I heard we were in for a mild fall, but please remind me of this post if it turns out otherwise.
