Poll: How many people use antivirus for their phones?

[wemis]

I'm debating if I need to. Lookout looks like a winner though!

As far as a free app, Avast has gotten just about the best ratings. It is even beating the paid apps.

I started with Norton then settled on Avast.

More and more Android attacks are being found, use an AV.

I use Kaspersky 2012 on all my computers. As soon a they get their shit together on Android I'll switch to them.

I started running Kaspersky on my Android but read up on it and it's not up to par yet w/ the others.

I read that Lookout was really good for Android. I think it got Editor's Choice on either PCMag or PCWorld. It also has a built in find my phone feature in the free version.

I use Dr web Light which was reviewed to have caught more viruses then others. NO issues to report. works good, identified an airpush which is advertising messages. Blah.

I'm a fan of AVG. I use it on my PC and I use it on my phone. It's a pretty slick antivirus, if you ask me.

Here's a good article from LifeHacker on anti-virus apps. (best & worst)

The Best (and Worst) Antivirus Apps for Android

I'm a fan of AVG. I use it on my PC and I use it on my phone. It's a pretty slick antivirus, if you ask me.

AVG was ok in earlier versions, the last year or 2 they've tried to mimic Norton and gotten terribly bloated and ineffective. Try Avast, you'll never look back.
