Lookout Mobile Security (2014) Review

Pros: Excellent mobile interface; Fastest scan with least impact on phone's performance; Helpful Privacy Advisor feature; Scans for adware

Cons: Malware detection less than perfect; No blacklists; Lacks ability to create user profiles or protect apps

Verdict: Lookout Mobile Security is an excellent mobile security app that offers an intuitive interface and useful privacy features with negligible performance impact.

It may seem like a relative newcomer to the anti-virus field, but Lookout created one of the first mobile security solutions in 2008, and its mobile-only emphasis is reflected in its app's excellent interface design and streamlined approach. Compared to the other anti-malware apps we tested, the Lookout Mobile Security app has little impact on your smartphone's performance, even when it's conducting a full-system malware scan.

Lookout Mobile Security recently added more nuanced adware-detection (aside from being annoying, adware can drain battery life and bandwidth). Add it all up, and Lookout is a very strong package.
