Best anti virus for s3

[Phoneguy108]

As of a few months ago there were only 618 types of malicious Android APK files. Stick with https://play.google.com/store/apps or other reputable download locations and it's not likely you'll need antivirus. torrents, warez and other slightly shady app repositories will have a higher chance of having embedded nasties lurking inside your downloads.

I read this from redmondpie.com

"The fact of the matter is, you, the average Android user, are safe from mobile malware. Malware on Android does not spread like it does on desktop computers because there really isn?t a simple method for them to spread. These viruses, trojans and rootkits that you hear of all the time only reach those users who do things like downloading APKs from untrusted sources and downloading bogus apps."

Don't use anti-virus on your phone... they don't really do anything... and they just take up resources.
