Signals from your phone to locate it on a map on **__the Lookout website__**,

[|Lookout] , the mobile security suite designed to protect your Android smartphone, has just received a major update that brings a host of new features, as well as a complete redesign to match the latest versions of the Android UI. The menu interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, with all the important functions just a button press away on the home screen. Most of them are included with the free version of the app too, including the malware detection system which scans installed apps for malicious code, contacts backup and the ever-useful **__Find my Phone feature__**.  Android security threats are nothing new – they are a very real problem of having an open source operating system that anyone can access the source code for and go digging for possible attacks.  Lookout can protect against a staggering number of existing threats, and is constantly updating to protect against new ones as they appear in the wild. The main danger is with apps that redirect your calls through premium rate lines and SMS networks, costing you huge amounts of money - apps like **Lookout m**ake sure that does not happen. Backup is completely transparent, saving both your contacts and call logs to the Lookout website. This lets you monitor your phone if it is stolen, giving you a record to take to your network provider to prevent any unwanted charges. Perhaps the best feature is **Find my Phone** - it uses the Wi-Fi, cellular and GPS signals from your phone to locate it on a map on the **Lookout** website, send you an email with its location and even let you activate a siren to help you find it if you have lost it down the back of the sofa.  You can download **Lookout** free, but you will only have access to its more basic features. For its more advanced functions such as Safe Browsing, Remote Lock & Wipe and Privacy Advisor, you will need to upgrade to the premium service. __It costs__  £1.99 a month, or £20 annually, but whether you should pay will depend on how often you lose your phone or visit questionable websites. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">The remote Lock and Wipe tool is a powerful one, letting you lock down your phone or completely erase it through the Lookout website. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;"> If you have lost your phone and cannot locate it using the Find My Phone feature, or it's been stolen and you want to be sure your personal information cannot be extracted, you can push a wipe command and factory reset the device. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif; text-decoration: initial;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Safe Browsing can scan websites for malicious links and code, but only if you use the default Android browser - this is a big problem if you have made the switch to Chrome, or are running a custom ROM that lacks the default browser, as neither are compatible. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype',serif;">Link:- []
