Is AVG trying to upsell snake-oil?

AVG, a popular free anti-virus company, is toting their wares on the Android market.

AVGs strategy (at least in the past) is this: give the anti-virus software away for free, then sell an upgrade for added security features. I can't help but feeling that while security is always relevant, may be overkill on this particular platform.

I wouldn't buy it. Android is supposedly very secure and this seems somewhat overkill if even effective.
