Hi Lucas,
I'm no Android expert, but I do believe Android has a strong security
model (provided you are using the latest version) which relies on the
sandboxing of all apps.
I'm unaware of any recent large-scale attacks targeting Android users.
If your friend is diligent and uses only trusted sources for apps (no
shady third-party app stores), he shouldn't need to worry.
Cheers,
Jonke

Hello,
a friend has asked me if there would be an "antivirus" or at least an
app against malware in Android.
What do you think - there are some FOSS alternatives out there or such
app would not make sense?
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Lucas
