Do I need spyware or anti virus on my nexus7? what are the best ones available if needed?

I don't use anti virus on my nexus 7. I've had one since they came out and haven't had any problems. Just be cautious of what I download.

I honestly don't feel threatened on my Android device as I am very careful about third party apps and don't download new apps from Google Play that do not have a large following and favorable comments.

Be very careful when using open wifi and when downloading apps with no mass following and good feedback. Read the persmissions.

Welcome to the forums. I agree with all the previsions responders, but for a different reason. I don't keep any sensitive data on my N7. If I should get a virus, it would be easy enough to do a factory reset and reinstall my apps.
I do use anti-virus on my pocket computer. It's probably not necessary, but it gives me some peace of mind. Kind of like using a seat belt.
