Any opinions on either application? Is there a better one?

How is Trustgo Antivirus? Norton seems to have been more popular.

Are there apps to block calls, email and SMS?

 

[jcp007]

Norton Security app full version is the way to go. $33 annual subscription. Device is protected in a manner similar to BB Protect. The device can be remotely wiped or locked. The app provide for SMS theft protection as well as protection against malware and spyware. There is the added feature to block calls and SMS as well as protection while web browsing.

After playing a Mahjong game in an app from the Play Store, a banner appeared that said that two viruses had been found and to download that anti-virus app.

I ran Norton Anti-virus and it found no malware. Is there cause for concern and should I delete the Mahjong app? It had been downloaded more than 71k times so I figured it was safe. Is there an issue with Norton? Has anyone used the full version?

Lookout Mobile Security for the spyware and virus stuff and Mr. Number to block calls. Nothing gets through on Mr. Number.

I guess to be more specfic...Was the message/banner in the Mahjong game just advertising to get me to download the anti-virus app? Does the Mahjong game need to be deleted? Is Norton not doing its job despite reporting no malware?

I have found that Vipre by GFI to be the best available for all of my Internet connected devices. It is fast, profiles updated several times a day, free and paid subscription versions available (free version available in App Store). In other words it just plain works and works well.
