I´m using Avast Antivirus 4 Free and Anti-Theft sometimes.
But i am thinking about if I really need an anti-virus app
Edit: On my PC I had unfortunately some blue screens because of Avast

Why are you install viruses? And more importantly: Why you launching them? o_O

If your careful and dont download random apk's from limewire or stupid apps from the app store i dont see the need for an anti-virus on android especially one you have to pay for, they are only going to stop viruses with known signatures to begin with anyway.

somehow i don't really think we need an antivirus app in the phone.

as long as we maintain it well, there's no such a need.

My avast caught a problem a few weeks ago, and blocked the app installation :)

I dont really see the need in having an anti virus program running on my phone...
...
i dont even use one on my pc :D
once all 2-3 months in install one and scan, but never find anything... so why have one?

I use Lookout. It also offers anti-theft services(locating phone, after entering pin/password/pattern 3 times wrong, takes a picture with Front-Camera and sends to my email).

I like avast, especially the anti - theft features. Nice and simple to set up.

    I had "Antivirus Free" (creative Apps) installed for like a year.
    It did what it was supposed to do, checking every download/installation etc.
    But not once It warned me about anything, so in the end I just removed it. :rolleyes:

    I trust myself to have at least one or two virus free nandroids at all times.
    With that in mind - what's the point having a antivirus program running 24/7? :confused:

    You guys really use anti-virus? Is it really necessary and more importantly, has it caught anything yet on android. I just wanted to know because I'm still debating getting one for myself.

    What do you say?

    In the last one year, kaspersky alerted me only once and blocked the app

    I use Avast! Mobile Security and it's great. I keep it mainly for its anti-theft feature which I think is great but hopefully won't need to ever be used...but it scans everything that is installed on it and for a free app it's brilliant- highly recommended.
