Last night I disabled Lookout. I took it off the charger this morning about 8 am with the battery at 100% and went about my day. I made a couple calls and used a couple of apps for a few minutes each. It is now 10 hours later and the battery is still at 88%. Not quite as good as it used to be, but pretty close.
More important, it has been about 20 hours since I disabled Lookout and my phone has not been hacked or exploited. I think people listen to Lookout's scare tactics just because they're accustomed to their Windows computers getting hacked all the time. Maybe someday Android will be as big a target, but for now, I'm going to leave Lookout turned off. Or maybe I'll turn it back on when they come up with a version that doesn't suck my battery dry.
Lookout is awesome its not about the antivirus bullshit at all i mean that's kinda cool and all but the phone finder and lockdown shit is where the big point of it is. I had my old phone stolen and didn't have any location software installed with Lookout atleast I have a piece of mind plus I lost my phone at buddies place (fell between seat and on ground used lookout made it scream from his phone and even he was impressed. Lookout is 100% worth it.
