The best defense against malware is your own personal awareness. Any computer program can be defeated, including anti-malware programs. So knowing what to download, and staying away from apps that are suspicious, is key. I used to use Lookout, but after awhile, I just decided my phone's resources (battery and CPU) were better spent doing other things. Not saying Lookout is a resource hungry app. Far from it, it consumes a very little. But me being a tweaker, any excess that I don't consider a luxury, is a waste.
If you really want to stay safe, be prepared to read. Because there is a poster here by the name of 'alostpacket' who wrote a friggin' encyclopedia on the subject. Here is the thread:

Now, if you don't mind having an app constantly running in the background, checking files, because it's a second-defense sort of thing, I won't argue that. But if you think you're safe because you have one (or all) of the malware apps installed, you're doing yourself a huge disservice. Read that thread, at least the major parts of it. Learn how to protect yourself. Anti-malware apps will just lull you into a false sense of security, IMO.
I just saw yours under the post about Swiftkey
