Lookout Security & Antivirus 9.7-9908157

Aside from making calls, people use their phones to access apps and browse the internet. But considering the many malware threats available online, phones are bound to get infected unless they use an antivirus to keep them clean. Lookout Security & Antivirus protects your devices against mobile threats, phone loss and theft.

Straightforward interface with plenty of features

The antivirus comes with a comprehensive tutorial, revealing all the app's features and tools. There's an icon in the top right corner, with information on the app and the option of enabling notifications in the status bar.

Users need to register with an email and password, before they can start using the app. The interface is well structured, scanning options and activation icons are displayed on the top of the screen, while other features are listed below.

The menu is on the top right corner of the screen and includes plenty of settings. Users can schedule scanning intervals, select certain days of the week and hours, so phone usability wouldn't be affected. In addition, Lookout automatically scans all files and apps you download, before installing them.

Scan your device for malware

After it's activated, Lookout starts an automatic first scan of your device, in order to find malware. However, users can't adjust scan sensitivity and must be patient as it takes a while to complete. Lookout can be set to automatically backup data, mainly contacts, photos and call history and make it available on lookout.com.

In addition, the app saves your device location before running out of battery. Users can access the website to find their phones on a map or have an alarm sound if the device is nearby.

Try the free 14 day trial to enjoy premium features

Aside from the aforementioned tools, Lookout offers users a 14 day trial to enjoy premium features. Credit cards aren't needed for the trial period. The paid version costs 2.99$/month or 29.99/year and users get theft alerts in an email with a photo and the location of your device in case someone stole it.

Users would also get alerts when the SIM card is removed and let them lock or wipe the device, after it automatically backs up data. In addition, Lookout may block phising and malware sites to prevent identity thefts and ensure you browse the internet safely. Moreover, the antivirus can be set to inform users which apps access personal information and provide immediate privacy alerts.
