Android cell phone antivirus recommendations?

As the thread title says, I'm looking for recommendations for a free antivirus program to install on my Samsung Galaxy 5 ("Active" version). I've checked out the Google Play store, but most of the dozens of offerings have suspiciously high ratings, and even ones from well-known publishers like Avast seem to demand an alarming number of permissions. Might be they need to be able to access any & all features of my phone to do their jobs, but I'm pretty concerned. Could use some informed advice!

I'm using the Malwarebytes antivirus on my HTC Desire 620 after ditching AVG because it kept bugging me with "buy our products" ads. It has a good few permissions, but looking at them, I cannot see anything I wouldn't give an antivirus running on my PC.
