This may seem like a silly question, but is it worth having some sort of anti-virus installed on my phone? I've read conflicting arguements on the subject... what are your views?
Cheers!
Cheers!
My views are that it does no harm. There are arguments that it takes up resources and slow down the phone, but given the high spec of the DHD, you don't really notice it. I've lookout installed, and it never really interferes with anything to any great extent. Even on my GF's ZTE Blade. The only slowdown I notice is when it scans new apps just after you've installed them via the market.
The other advantadge of lookout is that it offers all the features that HTCsense.com is supposed to, but with lookout, they actually work.
As far as I recall, it read the gmail account associated with my handset so it used that as the username.
What exactly is happening?
I uninstalled, then re installed but it won't let me create a new account as it says my handset is already registered so I logged in to my existing account and it took a while, but it did do it.
The only thread I could find on their support forum slightly connected to your issue is this -

Try signing up via the website as a new user, then logging in as an existing user on your handset?
No idea then mate, sorry.
As I said, it did take a while to reconnect me to my account when I resinstalled so they may be experiencing network type problems at the moment. Might wanna try it again later on?
Tried another email address?
Yeah, sorry, I wasn't too clear there.
Yeah, another email address to set it up.
Fair enough... gonna give it a whirl now!
Jerks.
Sorry it's been such a complicated process, it worked fine for me.
Smooth, you tried out any of the features yet?
Quite impressed with Droidwall to be honest... it's free and it seems to be doing the job... have got it installed, so that no apps can access the net without my say so... that way I'm not so worried about apps having access to stuff like contact details, as they can't send them anywhere!
