I use ESET mainly for the ability to remotely lock, wipe, and make my phone “scream” for free.

I think TrackandProtect is the most Professional and useful phone security tool here. It is even part of the Nokia N9 (meego) security sub system and offered by many insurance companies and even operators as OEM using many names. TrackandProtect is typical designed for the real world, it does NOT drain the battery, and keeps working in roaming. Yes, it costs few bucks but thats also because they use SMS as transport layer for communication from the TrackandProtect (or Operator) server to a phone. So if you’re serious on the matter i seriously recommend to have a look at this TrackandProtect by Klomptek. http://klomptek.com/track-and-protect-solutions.html

do they even work? seriously, I have tons of cracked apps on my Tab 10.1 and I run Norton Anti Virus on it but its never detected any viruses. either I dont have any or anti virus software doesn’t work.

I’ve used Dr.Web and AVG app and so far it hasn’t given me any problems.

I tried lookout a while back but recently put it back on and will probably consider the premium version once my trial of premium is done. Did this because of some notification spam I got.

No antivirus program. I use Mobile Defense to locate the phone if lost or taken. I got my Incredible back once already using it.

I used to use Lookout but don’t really see a need for it as long as I double check the apps that I install and their permissions. Though I do have SeekDroid just in case I loose my phone.

SeekDroid and Lookout. Haven’t really found Lookout necessary but yet I still have it on my phone. I do like the idea of remote lock and wipe with SeekDroid.

Its a great research I want some more updates..It was very well authored and easy to understand. Unlike additional blogs I have read which are really not that good.

But, according to Lookout, you need Lookout! I’m going to go buy a subscription to Lookout.

If installing a dirty wallpaper app from a random internet site that requires full internet access, phone identity, and texting ability is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
