Best android handset tracking / spyware software

[hoogie]

Hi All,

I moved to Android a few months ago feel it's about time I setup some "find my phone software" and other security software. Hoped the forum may be able to offer some advice.

1) What is the best "find my phone" for Android (preferably free)?
2) What is the best anti-virus / spyware for Android (again preferably free)?

Thanks

I use Lookout, it's free (with a paid option) and it is also an anti-virus.

AVAST! is supposed to be good as well.

You don't need antivirus. You'd be mad to use it.

Cerberus Anti Theft is the best tracking app i've used. The app has a 1 week free trial and then costs about £2 but it's worth it.

You can also use it to take a photo / record audio when the phone is next used or when the security password has been put in wrong etc. It will then email you the file.

And another for Cerberus. No point skimping in protecting an expensive item.
