    Plenty of free anti-virus/security app options for Android, though the jury's still out on whether they are actually needed. Common sense will protect you from 99% of potential problems.

    I use Avast across all my devices.

    The free version is all you need, IMHO ...

    (If AV software is the equivalent of a burglar alarm, the crooks know most people have one so don't try to break in, instead brazenly blagging their way through your front door. As Laphroaig says, common sense is your best defence)
