The Lookout app says mine is vulnerable, but from what I understand, most Androids are, so the app really told me nothing.
But at the last item on the list, it says to download Lookout, leading me to believe that the app is nothing more than a downloaded advertisement.
Lookout is probably the most reputable mobile antivirus out there. I'd be astounded if they pulled a stunt like that.

Same here. Updated my gs5 today and both mine and my wife's phone still say vulnerable on zimperium but safe on lookout. How can we know for sure?

I don't think they're that reputable when most people disable the pre-installed version when they get their phone.
Most people don't disable anything. Hardcore phone jockeys like here on XDA do, but that's because we disable EVERYTHING that's pre-installed and unessential in the usually vain hopes of boosting performance. And if they weren't reputable, I doubt Samsung would deliberately partner them with KNOX.

That's funny because I don't know anyone, here in the real world, that keeps it. And a vast majority of them don't even know what XDA is.
And just because they are teaming up with Sammy doesn't mean anything other than they are paying more than the others were offering.

LOL I dropped my Twitter after it was hacked by some Muslims. They were posting stuff in my name to it. So I deleted it and never went back. Over never had my Facebook hacked, they attempted to hack my Google account but failed. I decided since it took less than three months to hack Twitter, their security must be $#!+. Oh well. Barely used it anyhow.

Sorry for the shameless self promotion. But my Security app Root Defense was developed on the Epic 4G touch and unlike any other security app out there, it will allow you to continue to track your phone even if it gets wiped or a hard-reset by a thief.
It's almost impossible to lose your phone and it's completely free. You can subscribe if wanted for additional logging goodies.
It requires that you have a rooted phone (as most people have on XDA)
Please try it out and rate and comment on Google Play if you like it.

Yeah, Cerberus was a program created after ours that has many of the same features. Even including the 5 licenses for the price of one.
Root Defense comes with many many more features though and no user interface on the phone.
Basically its still free but with more features and a stealthier install.
Also ours shows the existing data of logs and location from before a phone went missing so you aren't in the dark when your device is off

Not emails, but most definitely texts, phone calls, and location. I'm not bashing this, just curious as to the advantages. I was one of the lucky ones who got Cerberus for free when they were doing the giveaway, just was wondering if it was worth... "upgrading"?

Root defense also is free and survives wipes and all the features the $4 a month is only if you wish to keep the logging features. All actually security features are free and always will be.
One of the major differences if the our free edition vs Cerberus is that our free version also keeps track of the last known coordinates.
What this means is that if your phone was stolen or lost and was either turned off or ran out of battery. Our product would show you where it last was and when it was there. Cerberus won't be able to show you anything as it needs to connect to the device each time to read data.
This is true of most fee or one-time fee programs because that's how they can afford it. In order to be helpful to people off-line, you need to store the data in a database which will quickly incur cost to developers (especially storing MMS messages.)
Anyway, different stroke for different folks. But keep in mind that after the trial ends, you still have (any always will have) all the free version features.

I'm with you.. Android really has nothing to worry, nor really does windows unless you're one of those types of people that always goes on random sites and installs everything.. Truthfully if you have to worry about anything its going to be spyware.. Everything else is so slow and dumb founded to get that anyone with half a brain about PCs shouldn't get a virus.. Of course I do have one installed on my PC.. BC of my wife lol..

Hello, so I've been I've been searching around and haven't come up with a definitive answer. I've had the s4 for a couple months now and have been using an excessive amount of data, when I haven't been doing anything out of the norm. With my s2 I had a5 gb plan and only got throttled once in awhile, but with the s4 my data has jumped tremendously. I've used almost 16 gb this month and 21 gb last month.
Android os is to blame for 6gb this month and 12 gb last month, all clocked in as back ground usage. Why? Wth is this phone doing to use so much data. . I have unlimited no throttling plan, but if I was still on 5 gb I'd be screwed. I just would like to know how I can stop this.

Dude, nothing on your phone, other than maybe a torrent client, can use 21 gigs of data without your consent. And since its saying "Android system" is responsible for the data usage, its you tethering. Period. You asked, so i answered.
What part of saying I don't tether other than hotspot which I'm limited to 500mb from Tmobile do you not understand? Also said I haven't increased use from my what ive done on the gs2 and actually there are several posts online of others experiencing this as well but no solution.

The app does a security check. Technically being Rooted can breach security so they check for it and notify you about it. How does that make them "pricks" ? If you don't like it, then disable the app.

you can do anything you want with your phone, when you buy it outright..
they just dont want you doing anything you want with YOUR phone when you are on THEIR network..
not saying I agree with them, as I have also denied it access and frozen it in titanium, but I understand why they want to know what is accessing their network from our phones, I just dont like the sneaky way in which the carriers do this without informing customers up front..
and rooting has NEVER caused me any issues when needing service or warranty from Tmobile...

unfortunately, they dont know that..
EVERY public network in the world is subject to endless attacks, hacks, and attempts to bring it down, so the carriers, just like the banks, the feds, the military, and every other public institution feel its their right to know what people are doing on their networks, and i tend to agree with this.
If you dont like them watching what goes on on their network, then go back to the days of coffee cans and string to communicate with others, because every carrier and every network provider watches and monitiors everything possible on their networks; there is no getting around that in this day and age..
