How necessary is an antivirus?

[classicfilmbroad]

How necessary is an antivirus for your Droid? Is it worth the download of LookOut, or is it just a big battery drain? I keep reading conflicting ideas.

If you aren't installing any apps that aren't on the market, I would say it isn't very necessary. I know a lot of people use Lookout Mobile Security just to have the option of finding their phone if they lose it. Hope this helps

It's not. At all.
