Eset is great as well
there are a vast numbers of free versions.
but remember you get what you pay for

personally I would look at Sophos Mobile Security for Android

I do have a paid for AV on my main computer. The tablet will just be used for visiting a couple of forums, playing a couple of games, general browsing. No online shoppimg on the tablet.

That's the one I have (but I still have the previous icon). It used to be called 360 mobile safe security - the one on the Play store with a similar name is a Chinese (?) version.
