Security on the Rezound

[Postoid]

Does anyone use a anti-virus/anti-malware app on your Rezound?
If so, which one?

Thanks to all that reply !

Lookout for me also.

Lookout free is great, not only scans apps but includes the locate phone option too.

People seem to have strong feelings about whether antivirus is needed on Android. I used Lookout and Bitdefender at different times on my Thunderbolt. Nothing bad to say about them, I just didn't see that either one did much, but I'm careful about what I download and install. If you stick to the major, well known markets, check reviews and pay attention to the permissions, you shouldn't have any problems. It isn't like my computer where I assume everything I download is dangerous and I decided that I can get along without an antivirus on my phone. I consider antivirus a category of app that may not be necessary, but if having one makes you feel better and it doesn't eat your battery, or use too much memory, get one. You can always uninstall it.

Don't look at porn from the market, that includes real porn and Justin Bieber type "porn".

I use Lookout but mainly for its ability to locate your phone. Not perfect but increases your odds of finding your phone.

Plus it does the whole antivirus thing. Not sure what that's worth as mentioned here.

Is that sage advice, speaking from previous experience? LOL

Avast is free and another good option.
