Personally right now anti Virus for a cellphone is useless , it only wastes resources, and money, in my 20+ years of using a cellphone I have yet to come across a single issue, virus male ware etc, use common sense, don't just download anything from any where, stick to the market or reputable places, read reviews etc, again my personal opinion save your money save your battery and phone memory,
my $0.02 cents

Agree with arimus. The growth of malware on Android has been very alarming and there is certainly reason for concern, but I don't see the benefits of AV apps outweighing the costs.
The best paid apps have a success rate of only about 50% in preventing/detecting infections. The free apps do considerably worse. And the hit your device will take in terms of performance will be noticeable.
You'll stay a lot safer by being smart with new apps. Stick to one of the reputable markets (don't sideload from bittorent or shady websites), check permissions when installing, and check reviews, ratings, number of downloads, etc. If if sounds fishy then just don't.
