Has anyone tried this app?http://us.norton.com/smartphone-security-android/
It's available in the Android marlet for free. .
It says you can remotely wipe you info from phone should it be lost or stolen.... But I was wondering if anyone had tried it and had any feedback
Thanks,

Personally anything from Norton is worthless. I wouldn't put Norton on my computer let alone my phone
Agree. Would not even want to try it or anything from Norton.
I am sorry to say this but I agree, ANYTHING NORTON is useless, if you want a app that allows a remote wipe do a search of the Market, there is a number of them on the market, I dont use any of them to suggest any good ones. Search for "Remote Wipe" and you will see a number of them to pick from..
Yup! Norton is free for the time being because its a beta. Once they put it on the market, I bet it will be pricey. I use an app called "lookout" which does do a wipe, plus gives a location of where the phone is. It is free.
I've used various Norton products for the past ten or fifteen years and have been quite satisfied with them. I'm presently running Norton Internet Security 2010 on several PCs and couldn't be more satisfied.
When Symantec's Smartphone Security For Android app comes out of beta, l'll probably download it since there are too many bad guys out there and smartphones are becoming increasingly attractive targets for viruses, trojans, worms, rootkits, etc. It seems to have been in beta a long time though.
They've had versions out for the Windows Mobile and Symbian (Nokia and other smartphones) operating systems since 2007.
I've been disappointed with Nortong on my puter for a long time. On the X i've been using Lookout for a couple of months. Has some nice features and seems to worki well

Personally I am waiting for Kaspersky get into the Android game, I have used Kaspersky for some while side by side with Norton and I have virus test desk that i bench test my antivirus apps with and I am sorry, Norton did not make the grade because it missed some of the more destuctive viruses that made me have to reload the system completely where Kaspersky held strong and maybe missed some of the miner viruses, I will take that as a result in my book..

Hey Wild, I don't have any problem with what you use. Obviously most of us don't have virus test benches and have to go on what we can read and research. Here's the review from PC World.http://www.pcworld.com/article/158157/top_internet_security_suites_paying_for_protection.htmlAs you can see they tested many security suites and many people are buying and using all of them. Otherwise they be out of business for lack of sales.I'm just asking about the Norton mobile security in this thread because they have a beta out for testing. Hopefully, like you said, Kaspersky and others will get into the mobile security business. Competition most always leads to better products at competitive prices.
Also, just because Norton makes (this is my opinion now) a decent internet security product for PC's, doesn't guarantee they'll have a decent mobile security product. I guess that's part of the reason I started this thread.Just a question cuz I'm curious, if you tested on your bench, the Norton product today with the latest updates, does it now catch those destructive viruses you mentioned in your post, or does it still miss them?
Best of luck to us all with the best phone available today, the Droid X.
Count me as another satisfied Norton user, though for a while I agree, they weren't as good as they seem to be now. I have had no issues and am very satisfied with my Norton Internet Security. With regard to the Norton Mobile Security (beta), if anyone has tried it, does it also have the Identity Safe feature?
