is antivirus needed on android devices, or do they mainly attack windows only?

if it is necessary, what apps are recommended

No, unless you go downloading random APK's from questionable sites.

Well, android is the most hacked mobile OS.

Depends if you live in a shady place or are often on public/open networks.

What's your logic k0zmic? There have been several malware attacks on the Android Market. The apps have been up there for some weeks before being pulled.

I'd say yes, you do need it. I have firewall and AV on my Vega and Desire.

So is it just apps to worry about? can the virus's hidden in emails etc not touch android?
