I voted "Other"
I want to try it but in beta it was using some major resources on my LG smart phone.
Now that it's out of beta I may give it a peek again, It is out of beta now isn't it Huracan ?
Nevermind I see now it says "Stable" lol

I voted "no" since I think that any AV on Android is a waste of resources if you don't install apps from unknown sources.

I have seen reports of infected apps coming from Google Play.
Just because the app happens to be from a known source does not mean that the app is safe.

No. I don't want to try the features now that they are free.

I voted Other because I think security risks on Android are much higher then just scanning an .apk file. Android has no security for users when it comes to public wifi internet connections, device info and local IP can be easily hacked. An anti-virus program should probably consider these use cases and add security layers for users offered by a VPN service such as purevpn. User should be secure from all perspectives.

No because I don't need AV on my mobile since I just usually browse only here (MT), Facebook and productive research on Google.

But I can see that Avast is indeed generous to provide certain features from Premium to be completely free without limitations.

For sure its all about security wise rather than marketing tactics since Avast do it all the time for giving certain features to be free.

I voted no because i tried it once and it didnt pick up a virus in an app that i mistakenly installed!

I'm using AMS for more than a week already. So far, so good.

Along with this is the free Avast Anti-Theft Premium. I think you still need to activate the premium, for free of course.
