I have AVG on mine. It's a mini computer with a whole load of sensitive data on, open to the world via various wifi networks, often public networks. Makes senes to have something on there.

We have a paid version of AVG at work that allows loads of extra, free uses including for phones but I suspect you can get the free one and that always ranks highly still.

I use Eset on my android phone, my android tablet and my missus android phone as well. When you think about all the things that you do now on your phone, including making payments, it makes sense to have not only anti-virus, but also anti-phishing as well. It also provides anti-theft, app lock, payment protection and a network inspector.

How do you find the mobile version of Eset?
I have Eset Nod32 on my desktop, just in AV form and think it's a fantastic piece of software without impacting on the system.

I use AVG on mine. Did use the pay version but now use the free one as it has the same features.

I use Avast as it was the top rated free app when I installed it, does the job as far as I know.
