If you do, tell us why you use it. If you don't tell us why you don't.

I'll start. I don't use antivirus software currently because I'm pretty safe about what apps I use and the websites I visit. I also have to charge my phone twice per day anyway and I don't want to install any apps that may damage the battery life further.

No need for antivirus as I only install apps after carefully reading their permissions... and also popular apps usually.

I don't need an antivirus, I only install popular apps or apps that have been tested from other developers even though I root and flash custom ROMs...

I don't use any antivirus because at the moment my phone works a little bit slow and maybe when i make an upgrade probably. But i never used a antivirus on the smartphone. On many stores they check the apps and if they find out that an app is with an virus they don't accept the app. So i feel pretty safe :)
