a lot of people think it's not, others disagree

personally i prefer ironass's "be careful" approach

virus protection apps also drain your battery

I have Look out on my phone, it scans any new apps that I install
some bonus features you can track you phone from their website if it's lost
and have it admit a sound so you can locate it

Doesn't slow down the phone like other av's i tried as well

AVG has worked fine for me for a number of months
not noticed any difference in performance, battery drain, wakelocks etc.

Im using Trend Mirco Mobile Security, dont have any problems also dont drain battery anymore then other apps do.

imo its better protect your phone im careful anyway but never know. i got it free with my PC version of the software.

 

[atmasters]

I use Lookout as well seems pretty good

 

[Remeniz]

Ok I gotta balance this out a bit...

I use no AV software and don't feel the need to.

I use no AV/AM software on the handset but I only d/l directly from the Android Market. Everything else is done via my computer and like all internet traffic goes through two separate scans. I've been around long enough to learn never to trust anyone.

I was one of the mugs who believed the antivirus software works. I've downloaded stupid amounts of third party apps and my phone still works. I always thought I was unlucky but how does my phone still work? I suppose all I can do is get back to you if my phone stops working.
