I have a Droid X phone and an Android tablet (Galaxy Tab 10.1). I use Lookout Mobile Security (paid version) on my phone and and AVG Free on my tablet.

Good question.

- I have a password instead of a 4-digit lock code.
- Firewall iP is my firewall app.
- iBlacklist blocks unwanted calls.
- Find iPhone tracks my iPhone if it ever gets stolen.

I think that's about it for now.

Any advantages to Lookout over AVG Free or Avast?

**Paul the Human** · April 5, 2012 at 1:25 pm

I use Lookout for my phone, because it came with the phone and I didn't have to pay for it. It does have a "Missing Device" service included and an automatic data back up, but I think AVG and Avast are probably just as good for active protection.

I've been running AVG on my Thunderbolt since I got it. After the news ran a story about a 10 year that tracked down his IPad after it was stolen in a burglary earlier this week and got the culprits arrested I'm thinking about switching to Avast. It looks like it includes just about everything except data backup for free.

The streets are lined with houses that have sockets though. Just go into one and charge it

And when you're confronted just say "It's OK, frankiej said it's all right.".

Then raid the fridge.

Yeah. Everyone knows me, nobody hates me.

Paul - which one are you using?

It's called Advanced Task Killer Pro. It seems to work well.

Ah, I use the free version now. I wasn't even aware that it did that (though I suppose that's a Pro-only feature). I'll look into it.

Added: Apparently the free version has this as well. Win!
