There is already a lot of talk about most Android devices being malware infected (not that I trust them) but to be on the safer side, it is always good to have a nice, strong Anti Virus up and running on your device.  After all some of the devices are costlier then the laptops.  So it is my humble advice that you should have a Anti Virus installed on your device.  And as always I bring you the best of the FREE Anti Virus Apps available on Google Play.  You can download any one of them and install it on your device.

1. Bitdefender Antivirus Free app :

This free App from TrustGo Inc has two modules, Anti Virus and Mobile Security.  The best feature of this App is the "Find My Phone"  This feature lets you see the image of the person who steals your phone(the thief has to input the wrong password thrice).  Once the thief has done that it will take a snap with the front camera using the "Candid Camera" feature and mail you his image.    As is required from any Anti Virus, this App will scan your devices for malware and personal privacy, identity and data theft.  It also has a Secure Web browsing feature.  You can download the App here.
