Weekly Tech Tip: Lookout Mobile Security

---

Lookout is a mobile security app for your cell phone. It is a must have for any smartphone user as it provides security, backup, and location services. It is a FREE app that includes a Premium upgrade with more features that costs $3/month. It is available for both iPhone and Android devices.

There are 5 categories in Lookout: Security, Backup, Missing Device, which are free, and Safe Browsing and Privacy Advisor which come with the premium upgrade.

For Security, Lookout scans your device to provide advanced protection from threats. It scans every app in your device and updates its information on the latest digital threats.

Backup offers all your contacts in your phone to be saved to the cloud in case anything happens to your phone. Your photos and call history can also be saved to the cloud if you purchase the premium app.

Missing Device is perhaps the most advanced part of the app with several different features that help you find your lost phone. First is Scream that helps find your device by emitting a loud siren alarm and causes your screen to flash red and blue for 60 seconds. Second, there is Locate which speaks for itself. From Lookout.com you can locate your phone on a map using it’s GPS. When your phone is running low on battery, Signal Flare will automatically save your device’s location before it runs out of juice. Lock Cam is a feature that will take a picture of anyone who incorrectly enters your PIN, password, or pattern 3 times. Lookout will then email you the picture and your phone’s location.

With Premium you can also get Lock which keeps your personal info safe by locking your device remotely and allows you to create a lost message that will assist anyone who finds your phone in getting it back to you. And finally there is Wipe which will clear all texts, photos, contacts, logins, other data from your phone if it is feared to be truly lost.

Safe Browsing, which one of two categories available only for premium, scans all links you visit in real time to protect your device from phishing and other malicious sites and software.

The final category and other premium offer is Privacy Advisor, which scans all apps and gives you privacy alerts for anything that could make your private information at risk.
