Avast because it is the only one that has features for rooted phones (Firewall, etc...)

I just love trust go ,its detection is just amazing.It catched three advertisement pushers that pop into my system which avast fail to remove although it is a PUP.THE ONLY DRAWBACK FEATURE IS IT' S ANTI THEFT which can be easily removed.

I am not using any security products for my Android phone. Reason is that i pay attention to software I download, and i have opinion that Android is still secure...of course there are malware in the wild, but you have to use brain :)

I'm still surprised that no one really picks Trend. Something wrong with the program?

It is because it is not popular and I don't think they used any effort to make it popular. When you were saying you had TrendMicro I thought it was paid (I just knew it is free). :D

Sounds to me, the users who use an AV for Android, don't trust Google's methods for preventing malware entering the Play store, or are downloading outside the walls of Google. :D
