Hey

I have been looking through the amrket and found a few Anti-virus apps and i am not sure which one is the best one to use.

The three i have the now are:
antivirus (yellow and white pill symbol)
Super Security
Lookout

Just wondering if anyone has got any ideas as to which ones are the best ones to keep as i get a scan from all 3 when i d/l a file from the web so looking to get rid of 2.

Thanks

I use Lookout, No problem so far but you won't know if there is until it's to late :(

Don't believe in these anti-virus apps, its more of a windows and they just seem a wast of space on an Linux OS. My beliefs unless someone has a good reason why I should change them :)

I use LOOKOUT MOBILE SECURITY (http://www.appbrain.com/app/lookout-mobile-security/com.lookout) and I've never had a problem. I don't use the online backup as I sync everything anyway, but I know a lot of people who use this app.

Virii can affect any operating system, people just target windows more because it's the most common (and most poorly constructed).
