Antivirus programs for android, do you really need one?

[Musical Rush]

I just picked up the Galaxy s5, I had avg free on my other phone( xperia sp, piece of shit ), now I'm wondering if antivirus programs are even needed with Android?

if you guys or gals use a program which one is the best free one,, been reading up on CM security

Not needed in my opinion. Just stick with installing things from the Google Play store.

I had a virus on my LG Nexus Android and I needed to download an anti-virus. Not sure where it came from as I don't download anything onto it.

I would say grab a free one - can't hurt.
