You create a password, and if you lose your phone or if it's stolen, you just send a text message to it from any phone with the word "lock" followed by your password. The anti-theft lock of the free version is simple to set up. On my Droid X, it took 15 seconds to scan normally, and one minute and 56 seconds to scan the SD card as well - not, in my opinion, a significant difference, and a small price to pay for more complete protection. You can also scan your SD card - an option that's turned off by default because it may slow down your system during the scanning operation. You can scan manually or have Norton scan on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. The malware scan is simple and straightforward.
The free version (which Symantec labels Lite) includes an anti-malware module and an anti-theft module that lets you remotely lock an Android device if it's lost or stolen. Norton Mobile Security comes in free and for-pay versions. (The app was previously available as a beta.) Worried by the spate of news stories about malware targeting Android phones and tablets? There's a way to get some peace of mind: Symantec's just-released Norton Mobile Security, which promises the same type of security for Android devices that its big brother counterpart offers for PCs.
