He is probably torrenting off his phone using utorrent and getting all those hasty ads

AppOps while not Antivirus is pretty good for restricting app permissions. I still have no clue why Google made it, and then decided to remove it from Kitkat. I'm pretty sure there's a version that works for non rooted devices.

First of all, fuck utorrent and their shitty adware, bittorrent all the way, second, phones are so easy to put a virus on it, like Apple. and in my opinion, why not, better to be safe than sorry.

They put it in to help developers. You can still get it using Xposed, a custom ROM, etc.

Just like with computers, "antivirus" is useless if you have common sense. If you have Google Play installed, you can have Google screen your applications.

Antivirus only makes sense if you are pirating
