Which Android Antivirus Should You Use?

Even though Google now is reviewing every single apps that going to be available on Market or Google Play, there are still huge amount of malware apk that being distributed outside of Market/Google Play. The best practice is to install apk from reliable source(s) only, another method is to install antivirus, but which one to use?

According to AV-Test.org, an independent IT-Security institute from German, there are only 3 out of 41 antivirus apps that are really doing the job:
F-Secure Mobile Security [€29.95]
Kaspersky Mobile Security (Lite) [free]
McAfee Mobile Security [7 days trial, US$29.99]
