Security app

[luda3455]

Do you have a security app installed on your phones? If so, which one? Being new to Android, I was wanting to get some insider's opinions on which are the most effective.

I'm currently using NetQin Mobile Security Pro. Any thoughts on this app? (I chose this one because it was free and had good reviews in the market.)

I know AVG's reputation for being a quality free security program in the computer market. Is their mobile security app as highly regarded? (Had I seen this before I had already installed NetQin, I more than likely would have chosen this one.)

All these heavy software that promises to "Security" - I never relaxed what they really do.
For me, the base should be simple firewalls

There is a free app named Mobiwol - it without rooting the device.

Here is a thread I found for the GS4: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/286171-best-favorite-security-app-galaxy-s4.html

There is a good discussion and recommendations for security apps. Let us know what you decide to go with and how it works out for you.

For it, I use lookout.It pretty much tracks your lost phone nd saves your location before phone dies.It also scans apps for malware and viruses. If you upgrade to platinum it lets you have more stuff..

I forgot to mention that it fixes your Galaxy device to make it impossible to hack into the passcode or password or whatever security you use.
