I use avast since a few month's and i love it. It comes with an anti theft software wich can be invisible and located in the boot.img. about the batterylife i can't say much but it don't kills the battery in a few hours. I prefer the avast app.

I've never installed an anti-virus software on my phone.

Is it useful? How many malware/viruses has it detected?

Not to be rude, but I haven't seen anything condoning warez in this thread. Are you simply warning, or are you saying that warez was being posted?
