avast! Mobile Security (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.mobilesecurity&feature=nav_result) - Not only does it have anti-virus and a web shield to protect against malicious sites, there is also anti-theft and many more features...for free!!!

AVG AntiVirus Security (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antivirus&feature=nav_other) - Also has a lot of the same as mentioned above!
