I typically use AVG, avast, or Avira on PC's and find they've worked well. (avast is currently my favorite free a/v program for pc)
I gave the free avast program for android a try for a day or two on my 7" Polaroid PMID 701c which has a 1Ghz ARM Cortex processor and 512MB RAM.
It seemed to run well and not be a resource hog. However I like the option to temporarily disable antivirus software whenever I feel the need. Although I didn't spend a great deal of time trying to figure it out, I couldn't easily find how to do that or fiddle with many settings through the software.
I don't want something that is going to bog me down, because the specs on this tablet are a little anemic. I'm thinking of trying AVG next, but I'm open to suggestions and feedback on those popular a/v apps that are known to be resource hogs.
