Avast is stepping up pretty good for free phone security. I believe the top 3 are all paid products.
F-Secure would be my choice if I were to pay for phone security.
That developer from Kaspersky (interviewed in one of our threads) made a subtle reference to Avast and other free services being inferior, but they barely nipped Avast, so he was purely marketing and not really stating anything significant as a result, at least as his statement might have pertained to Avast.

I put no to Android device since I got a Blackberry, Mind you there is only 2 antivirus you can use with Blackberry, that is NvQ and some other bad one, It's that bad I have forgot the name, for real.

I have to say It's very poor, when it comes to Security software for the Blackberry.

I still use a first generation Pantech Pursuit. It is so obsolete that there is no way that any malware authors are wasting their time writing malware for it. Best of all, it does everything that I need it to do, very well.
