AVG antivirus

[morgamil]

Is the AVG antivirus app any good? I tried it a few weeks ago and it seemed to have crashed so I deleted it, wondering if anyone else had that problem?

You don't need an AV app.

Why not?

I do run AVG and has never crashed.

Because there aren't Android viruses. The couple of malware laden apps that made it into the market about a year ago used a root exploit to do their thing (funny, because rooted users would have had superuser pick this up anyways and thus been safer than non-rooted users). There isn't a current way to root phones via an app (known exploits have been patched), thus there is absolutely nothing an AV app can offer.
