antiVirus App (Please Help)

[LifeIsABeach]

Am I the only one who experienced problems using the LookOut app? After a while, my Droid started slowing down dramatically (mainly in response time, but generally, all functions were slower). I just removed LookOut and am back to factory speeds. Debating on not reinstalling this app, anyone out there not running A/V app and has had issues w security?

Many people have reported slowdowns when installing anti-virus apps. Another reason not to use them (aside from the fact that there are no known android viruses for it to search for).

thanks for the tip, gonna leave it off for now. But will definitely post if I come across any issues.

so i've been running without any antivirus software since the last post. haven't had any problems with viruses, however, the phone seems to have slowed to the original speeds before the uninstall of 'lookout' app. not horribly slow, but considering reinstalling just to be safe and continue to deal with the speed issues.

So the antivirus software was making your phone run faster? That's a first.

Don't use it.

THERE ARE NO VIRUSES TO SCAN FOR!

Is malware something I should be concerned about.
