I've been using Lookout since I first got my Original Droid. I like the AV part, and I like that I can use it to track my phone should it ever get lost. I don't particularly care about backup features since there are apps that do that much better. There are a couple of other features that are nice with it, but only for the paid version... and I don't really wanna buy it.
What I'm wondering, is what is the best overall security app out there, or failing that, what apps together give the best overall security for your device. Note, I am rooted. Features I'd be looking for include:
Antivirus/Antimalware
Missing Device assistance (lots of features can be covered by this beyond just tracking)
Firewall (a real firewall for managing what has access to the net and what they're accessing)
Permissions Management (such as managing what can run at device boot up)
Whatever you think is important that I missed.
I don't really expect to find ALL of those in one single app, but would love to find out what's really the best at doing those things. For the Firewall, I've heard Droidwall is pretty good, but they stopped posting change logs.. which I, along with many others judging by the comments on the app, think is a bad practice for an app with root access. I vaguely remember hearing about an app that let you manage all app permissions, but that was a long time ago and I don't even remember what it was called. Free apps would be a bonus, but if it's good enough, I would pay.
EDIT: Bah, meant to have a question mark at the end of that thread title.
