For the foreseeable future, you do not need any kind of antivirus software. The platform doesn't really have any points to attack.

That could change in the future, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Do not layer any os with antivirus or similar junk. If the os needs layers of junk to operate, change os's.

If the 95/98 2000 and xp era was built correctly, you wouldn't be asking about it now. ;)

Anyway, just enjoy your phone. :)
