Funny thing about security software (or virus scanners) is 
that if it does its job, you never really know that it's 
working.  So, I think it's a matter of picking one you like 
and then sticking with it until it fails on you and then you 
move on to something else and vow never to look at it again.

In my case, I'm stuck with Norton.  I have Windows machines 
(yes, unfortunately...) and many, many years ago, Norton did 
something right.  It's been so long, I can't remember what 
it was...  Since then, I've been using it for my desktop.

And I ended up using the same thing for my Android phone. 
Don't know if it's doing a good job, though...
