Using avast and pretty much happy. Free,lite and got good review everywhere. Avoid Norton, its bs on every platform.

Same, I haven't used any antivirus for my Android phone ever.

There is no need for an antivirus for your android device if you are installing apps from Play Store. If you do sideloading of apps, you may install Avast, AVG or Lookout.

Curious though, what is the worst side effect of a malware in an android device?How do you detect it?

it could also steal all your saved passwords, upload all your photos and other fun stuff.

Well if you dont bother about your fone automatically dialing and sending premium sms, and you are ok with your photo and contact uploaded to some unknown location, you dont need anti virus if its ok revealing CC and other banking detail. OrYou are just using your smartphone as a toy.

I dont even use an anti virus on my desktop. Malware on smartphone should be very rare, not used any antivirus on my mobile till now!

You don't need one if you do not install apps from unknown sources. No antivirus on my phone.
