Lose Track of Your Phone?

 If your Android is lost or stolen, Lookout Mobile Security enables you to remotely lock it and wipe your personal data. If you are looking for phone protection software, this app might interest you.




Lookout Mobile Security and antivirus

The Lookout app for Android offers up a triple-threat of protection for your phone. 


1. If you lose your phone, you can track it with the Lookout browser-based dashboard. You can also sound an alarm to freak out that shady thief. Using the website, you can password protect it or erase all the data  from it with one click. The feature does not need GPS to be activated. It traces the phone via the internet using the phone’s internet connectivity to locate the phone within 12 meters. You can send a command directly to your phone to play a loud ringtone so it can be easier to locate. 



2. Lookout offers a mobile anti-virus scanner. You don't need to be a security expert either to run a  scan on your phone. You just press the "Run Virus Scan" button and it goes to work scanning all of your applications for viruses. It also self-activates every time you download a new app and scan it for any threats. It will then verify via the notifications.


3. you can back up your personal data including your contacts, photos, videos, e-mails and text messages. You can manage your data and see what has been backed up in Lookout's browser-based dashboard




You can schedule automatic data back-ups and anti-virus scans so you'll never have to worry about your phone not being up-to-date in case of an emergency. Unlike PC desktop security software, there aren't any annoying pop-ups constantly reminding you to update your software. It also doesn't freeze up all of your open apps when it scans for viruses.
