What do you guys think of this app?
http://www.webroot.com/En_US/consumer-products-mobile-security-android-phone.html
It's most obvious features are malware protection (does this even exist for androids?) and virus protection (again...is this an issue for androids?)
But what intrigues me the most is that if my phone is lost, I can do audible locating, gps locatins, remote lockdown, or worst-case, remote wipe from another phone.
I know there are other free apps that offer the above tasks...I was using wheresmydroid before, but then had to supplement it with other apps to get all of these same features.
Anyway, I know it's an expensive app, but I'm not too concerned about the $15/year. But does anyone have any experience with this app? Does it do all that it says it does? Is there a better alternative available?
I dont know about that app....i use Lookout and I get all that, back up and phone location and such, too...it also scans apps you download to see if there "safe"....i haven't had any problems with it so far...theres a free version and a premium version

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know they had an app.
XDA Mobile
Im using Theft Aware. It has all the same features and I know from experience it works very well. You should look into it.

So I've been looking for an app that supports hierarchical note taking, but i haven't found anything that really meets my needs. What i was hoping for was something like keynote, which i used to use with windows, or (god forbid) onenote. Preferably open source, and not requiring shady, intrusive permissions. Encryption is always nice.
Any suggestions? Seems like this short of software would be exceedingly common on a mobile platform. Somebody has to have something trustworthy that they use.
Notelynx Outliner. It can be found on Google Play. There is also a pro version available with additional features.

I've used quite a few of the different note apps but I always come back to Google drive. Easily accessible from any computer and printable.

Evernote seems nice and functional to me.
Hi,
This topic is to share experiences using VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) with an Android Tablet.
I'm currently thinking about using it at home to replace my corp laptop.
But the problem is that I use several apps that are not available on Android.
So I'm looking for a solution that would give me access to a Windows machine and would also be user friendly.
Tried with RDP connection but in my opinion touch gestures are not very well handled by the remote machine (maybe by using a windows 8 machine?)
Had a look on VMHorizon as I also own an ESXi server, but rather expensive and the architecture to install seems to be quite complex.
What is your experience with this kind of solution? What would you recommend?
Thanks for sharing

I need some help....
im looking for a sniffing app or keylogger app for android... isnt so esay to find some good apk´s. on windows its simple with refog, but it should even easy with android huh?
it should only monitor all about the chrome browser (first of all the inkognito pages), no facebook etc...
the first point is, is it possible without root? because my lg is 3 weeks old and i like to kept the warrenty.... and what is the best app for this job?
thanks :fingers-crossed:
nobody can help? ;(
I don't know a keylogger or a sniffer for android but I think that you'll be forced to root your device if you want to do something like that.
Interceptor-NG, Arpspoof, Droidsheep, Faceniff
Among them Interceptor-NG is in Gplay, rest all you need to Google.
Interceptor-NG is more useful if coupled with an MITM attack tool... wont go in the details... root is needed in all.
Dunno about keyloggers.
Be careful and hopefully you are not using them for any negative reasons.
Cheers.
Key logger for your own phone? Hmmm

But you have to make your own APK...
I have read an article from a website claiming that Android antivirus are useless since all Abdroid apps run within a sandbox and this greatly hinders antivirus from fully function. Is this valid claim? I thought the apps can function beyond sandbox to certain extent as long as they ask me permissions.

Linux is self secured in that users do not have permission to run applications for which the permissions do not allow. For example normal users cannot access configuration files. Root access is required. In order to install or change applications root access is also required.
Don't need anti-virus app on your android mobile.
Just remember don't install the app from non-play market.
And note that the permission before installing.
And you can always try applications from XDA. we are trusted people

True. I think XDA apps are as reliable as play store apps since apps on XDA gets constant feedbacks from other developers.
However, that also means that, just like playstore apps, I should be aware of relatively new and unpopular apps.

Would not even trust all apps from play store as google is not checking them before adding to the store. so they might be harmful as well... Hence, XDA apps are even trustworthier I would say :good:
During my years of Android experience. I have never heard of any Android phone getting a virus?
If you have anti-viruse softwares on your device. The only thing that'll do is slow your device down and restrict you to certain content.
So yes. Android anti viruses are useless.

And seriously... there is already not a lot of viruses developp on linux, so on android...
There's no way an app could infect your phone when you aren't rooted, so Anti Virus on Android is useless.
Even if you are rooted, when you don't download the most obscure apks, chances are nihil you get a virus (or otherwise harmed). If you don't fully trust an apk, you than screen it using googles apk installer. It doens't slow down your device and works good.
Thanks for the insight

It can happen
Just recently, a friend got a virus on her Galaxy S6 from browsing via Chrome to her local CrossFit site, which is as follows:
http://brandonevenson.com/
Just downloaded ESET Mobile Security & Antivirus to give it a test run.
Thoughts?
Antivirus apps are all just gimmicks and completely useless also often causing more problems mainly by drastically hindering performance. A real computer virus is just impossible on a Linux based system like android because the nature of androids architecture isn't a comfortable environment for viruses to run quietly and stealthily and would take the most intense development Google longs for and for what some nerds contacts and porn browser history? The only thing close to a virus is maybe malware which then is no more than popup ads and such. So ask yourself who to worry about when so many antivirus apps are deceiving millions of people...

Antivirus is must for your android smart phone. Because many a times we come across an app exchange through which virus entry possibilities increase.

try AVG best smartphone antivirus with easy to use interface...
I believe the Android antivirus are useless but that doesn't mean there is no virus. There are viruses and I will continue to believe that all android antivirus are useless unless SafeBytes release their antivirus app for Android. I hope this meeting will be fruitful.
