From my forum here
Do you have any Recommendations for Android:
Anti-Virus
Anti-Spyware
Firewall
Android phones definitely need something with all the web access thay do! all phones are at risk of being hacked. Anti-Virus and Firewalls will be a must have with all phones sooner or later.
Yes I know that Android is based off of Linux, but it will get hacked at some point so don't say "You don't need Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware or a Firewall on a Android Phone" you do!
I can just picture a virus/trojan that infects your phone in the future and sends all your contact info and mobile numbers to a server somewhere. From there the owner of the trojan can spam your contacts via text messages and spam thier email addresses.

AFAIK A landline is completely immune to hacking, spam, spyware etc
It's even (relatively) immune to interception of the contents of a call.

While the landline is immune, the person using may not be!

Crikey, I see what you mean when you say 'my forum'! Just kidding mate, but for some reason all I see is your posts?
To help with your question though, you might be interested in reading Av-Test's test of some of the common free options:
