the first one (norton i think) just got released, so someone thinks there is a need. do you use banking apps or have similar pw for other sites, then maybe you should. haven't heard any reviews of it yet.

I use the app called "AntiVirus".. works well, scans every app as it is being installed.

I use "Antivirus Free". It was made by DroidSecurity, but was recently acquired by AVG, a big name in the antivirus business. I use AVG on my laptop and rarely ever have a problem (or even a warning), so I had a decent amount of trust that AVG would do a good job overseeing this company's work.

I use NetQin AntiVirus. While I have always believed that Linux can't be infected, it never hurts to have protection. It's free in most providers app markets and works flawlessly in the background.

Enjoy!
