I use avast instead, because it doesn’t have to be running 24/7 like lookout does and drains the battery. Avast when force closed stays off, and it runs and scans when you need it too.

I’ll stick to using Avast. They seem to have the best features and every time Lookout would scan on my Razr it would lockup and go unresponsive.

Cerberus is great for a missing phone, but not for scanning stuff (it doesn’t do that)

The best security app is your brain. Use it and you’ll be fine.

But now it will send a signal flare to the servers when it finishes killing your battery.

Plus we all turn on “unknown sources” to get apps from alternative markets (including black markets) and this opens the door for malicious apps. This is in addition to the malicious apps that sneak past Google (or Apple) and end up on the app stores.

If you don’t sideload it’s probably not NECESSARY but it’s not a bad idea. If you sideload then you really should run SOMETHING in this category of apps and Lookout is a solid product (i.e. I use it, rofl)

I had to uninstall lookout last week because it suddenly started to eat nearly half my battery from the background. The day I noticed, in 5,5 hours since charged, it ate 45% of my extended battery on almost 2 hours of cpu usage… Galaxy Nexus LTE stock verizon 4.1.1
