The best result from a manual scan was that of Zoner... with an utterly abysmal 32% detection rate. The only other competitor to get more than 0% was Kinetoo's Malware Scan, which picked up 6% of the 172 intentional infections. According to the download counter on the Android Market, the most popular application offering anti-virus 'protection' is Creative Apps' Antivirus Free. It scored 0% on both tests performed by AV-Test.

If you run an anti-virus application on your Android phone you may want to uninstall it, since it seems to just take up storage space and give no real benefits in return. While it might pick up on something, who knows what it isn't picking up on?
