U don't need an antivirus program... It was not there in past... It is not here in present.. N also will never be in future.... And don't worry.. There r no such apps also.. Even u don't need a booster n optimizers like IOS and Android

Actual you can not because there are no anti virus apps for windows phones because there are no viruses. And if you get ah popup message on your phone it is a fake one.

Microsoft carefully monitors apps to be published on the store, so highly unlikely to get anything from that, however should you experience issues with your phone after an app install or casual browsing, best advice for it would be a soft reset. Its highly unlikely for you to get a virus as its virtually non existent but should Windows Phone become as popular as Android then there would be a cause for concern. Until then be happy with the "securism"
