Have recently installed Avast antivirus and mobile security on my android phone. Brilliant!
The antivirus works as it should, but the security is superb.
If your phone is stolen, you can block it remotely in various ways via the web, plus there are other features.
Locate your phone if lost or stolen via gps. I have tested it and works fine.
With phones costing so much these days, not to mention the data contained on it. Has proved to be a very worthwhile app to install. And its FREE!

I just login to my me.com account and you can even send a message to flash up on the phone such as 'I know where you are and the police are coming for you' kinda thing ;)

I agree though, Avast! is good software. I have it installed on all 4 of my machines. I have done since I ditched McAfee over 5 years ago now.

Yep. you can do that wth Avast... send warning text messages, alerts, activate sirens, that sort of thing... Very James Bond... no self destruct though. Maybe in a later version perhaps?

I also use Avast free antivirus on my laptop,its so easy to use and gives you daily updates, and use Malwarebytes and CCleaner weekly which is great for clearing junk build up etc,clearing caches!

Just bought a cheap 7 inch tablet. Does it need an anti virus too....Guy who sold it to me said no....sounds illogical somehow !
