Been using it for a year even though Android is relatively virus free .

Used Lookout but prefer "Antivirus free".

Didn't find Lookout tracing facility worked reliably enough. Put me and my handset in Canada!

I've had a play with the trial version which expired about a week ago for me, I don't think I'll be subscribing to the premium version as the problem I see with all of these location services and remote wipe apps is they rely on the phone being on and unbarred and I've never managed to get a decent GPS fix indoors so you'd have to rely on the location services based on the cell sites which can give you an area of a few blocks.
I do have a SIM PIN and a lock code on my handset, but I think if I were to ever lose my handset I'd still want to get both the SIM and the handset barred as quickly as possible.
