How Secure You really are 

Let me explain a few things regarding Android based Antivirus applications. They totally work in a different manner if compared with windows based Antivirus applications. Windows based Antivirus have capability to Detect , Quarantine and Delete the infected file while Android based Antivirus can only detect and notify you about infected applications and at max can sandbox them to save user. If you want to protect yourself completely you need to delete the infected application by yourself [Identify the name and Uninstall it from Application Manager].

If Antivirus notifies you about a malware infected application and you have't uninstalled it . The application will keep doing its work even if anti-virus is present.

Which Antivirus to trust.

AV-TEST releases its test result every month for all Android Antivirus applications both Free and Paid. You can check the result and find the best one that suits you.
