Safe Browsing Protects Users from Phishing and Malware

As more and more smartphone users access the internet, email, and social networks from their phone the risk of fraud becomes more real. Malicious websites can easily be stumbled upon while using a mobile web browser or casually clicking on a link in an email, instant message or Facebook post. Criminals also know that the smaller screens and frequent use of smartphones mean that users are more susceptible to online fraud than they would be at a desktop computer. To combat this growing threat, Lookout has introduced Safe Browsing.

As a component of Lookout Premium, Safe Browsing protects smartphone users from phishing and malware sites they might encounter while emailing, texting and surfing the web. Without slowing down your phone, Safe Browsing examines every website in real-time and automatically blocks access to unsafe sites - guarding users from identity theft, financial fraud or phone hijacking. With Safe Browsing, smartphone users can:

5.0 out of 5 stars To the haters... June 9, 2011
By trvlnp8
Amazon Verified Purchase
Numerous people are saying that anti-malware is not needed on android. What rock did you crawl out from under? Android is the new, favorite target for viruses and malware. If it does not work on your phone, fine... the developers can not account for EVERY configuration.
I use a Droid X on Verizon and I have NONE of the issues that these other supposed Droid/Verizon users have.
And as far as Verizon saying its bad, Verizon's position is that if anything is wrong with the phone, it must be an app so reset the phone and tell the client not to load certain apps. They have no basis in fact to blame this particular app any more than any other. And it does not drain your battery unless you have it configured to backup every 10 seconds.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have app for peace of mind in a mobile world March 22, 2011
I'm new to the whole mobile scene, so I knew I needed something to keep me in check when it came to downloading stuff. As a download/app junkie on other devices, I knew it would be no different with my Droid 2. I found Lookout by browsing through the android app store and was blown away that this is being offered for free. You can have all your downloads instantly and seamlessly scanned without you ever really knowing that it's monitoring you. A little icon sits in your tray but besides that, you won't know it's protecting you. You can sign up to have a weekly email sent to you from the website to inform you of changes to your phone and to see where you stand in security for your device. If your phone is lost or stolen, you can lock it remotely from the website and even have it scream (let off a sound) to alert others or even you of it's location.

There is a pay version that opens up some premium features but I haven't done that as of yet. I haven't written it off yet, but it's there if I need it. For everyone like me who wants peace of mind on their mobile device, you can't get much better than Lookout Mobile Security.

Same thing happened to me, but, thankfully, Verizon said this was a known issue with the app, so I uninstalled it before trying a new phone. My phone works great again.

Why. Won't. They. Update.
What can't you type. Properly.

Get the app from the google play store and it will update just fine from there.
