antivirus/security apps

who's running an antivirus program and if so which one, why, and results? if not why?

I have been using lookout on my moment i dont really have any problems, it claims to scan everything, and claims to be able to locate my phone if lost/stolen. I have no way to verify if it actually does prevent anything, but hell i had/have a hacked WinMo mogul that never got viruses soooo....

is it work the memory drain to run one, and if so is one better than another.

Anti-Virus is a scam on phones and computers!

Anti-virus isn't needed on an Android phone. Without root acces a "virus" can do very little to your system.
