Alright, Vote on the poll.

I got my Galaxy S3 now but I haven't done or have all the time to research Security/Anti-Virus apps.

Congratulations! :D

I don't have an AV, common sense does the job. But if I have to choose, it will be Avast.

Also make sure that Unknown Sources is unchecked (Settings > Security). Note that as long as it is unchecked, you will only be able to install apps from Play Store.

@McLovin,
Why not recommend it then? You could point out the Features, the Pro's and Con's in a written review. ;)

I'm too lazy for a Written review. I could always do a video review on it?

I have Avast installed, but not for the Antivirus protection, I keep it for the remote self-destruct ability if the tablet ever gets lost or stolen, so that no-one has access to my accounts

AV on Android is useless

Prey Anti-Theft may be good, if you're not interested in AV for Android.
