You don't really need an anti-virus. As long as you're only downloading apps from the Play Store and not visiting sketchy sites, the chances of getting malware are minuscule

I used to swear by lookout. But as UJ85x said, if you don't side load apps you really don't need antivirus. Lookout was a battery hog, and was never going to find a virus, so deleting it was a benefit.

The real value was the other features, but they are all available in Android Device Locator, for free and with minimal battery drain.

Best AV = None. Just use common sense and don't get any app other than from the Play Store (ie. Legit apps, not cracked or warez)

AV = cripples your device, makes it laggy, and decreases your battery life.

just my 2 cents worth
