I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab (SGH-I987) second hand.

The owner told me it's rooted...but I don't know what that means. (although I think it helps me use it as a hotspot for my computer)

Also I need to find out if I need to update the software.

I'm also wondering if there is a keyboard I can attach to it and if it will work with "go to my PC"

I'm also wondering if I should get and anti-virus program like my computer has (Norton?)

I don't know where to start with this forum. I tried putting in some searches, but not finding answers.

Thanks for your help!
