Lookout Mobile Security







 If your phone falls into the wrong hands, this app may be the best way of tracking it down and getting it back.

Seeking to protect all of your most prized smartphone belongings, Lookout Mobile Security is another app that's looking to provide the entire security package. Broken up into three components: Security, Backup, and Missing Device, in the Security section you'll be able to

automatically scan every app that you install with the option to perform a scan every week. The Backup section provides an automatic
on a weekly or daily basis, while the Missing Dev ce mode will allow you to locate your phone on a map, send a loud siren to your phone, even if the sound is off and enable GPS satellite location to help hunt the handset down. This element of the app will require setting up a password and an account on myLookout.com.

Anti-virus apps that run all the time are likely to be a drain on your phone battery, but Lookout claims that it will only consume as much power in one day as a 33 second phone call.

It may not look and feel as intuitive as the AVG Virus Scan app, but it does an efficient and effective job protecting you from attacks in real-time and is handy if you lose your phone.
