    Like with Windows most people have a Internet security service. I wanted to ask do you guys use a security software package for Android devices? If yeah which one?

    AFWall+ that's it. Then again, I don't run questionable apks. I'm more concerned with mitigating what my carrier and google know about me.

    No AV, just CygenoMod without Gapps and a VPN. However, its worth mentioning that I don't store anything on my phone that would damage me if it got lost, and I only have three apps installed.

    If I had 100 apps I would be looking for an AV too. Since I never used one on Android I cant really offer any good advice, but I used Kaspersky on Windows for a while, and everything I read on its mobile version tend to be at least somewhat good too. So if I felt the need for an AV/mobile security suite I would probably go with Kaspersky.

    Good luck.

    I've never used any kind of antivirus at all.
    The possible problems with malware infested apks is simply avoiding being an early adopter on the market or using something thoroughly reviewed. Those MP3 downloaders all smell like trouble, for example. Same applying with the porn apps found outside the play store.
    The only security app I have, and I can't live without, is Cerberus. Got a lifetime license when they were on promotion on Appgratis and it wipes the floor with the avast anti-theft.
