The hot app of the year appears to be one that will lock and/or wipe your phone. And as such, Norton — the longtime virus-cleaner (among other things) — has the Norton Security app in beta in the Android Market. We’re not anywhere close to declaring that we need to worry about spyware, malware and viruses on Android, and Norton’s app does well to go beyond that. Features include:
- Remote lock/wipe
- Anti-malware scan.
- Call blocking
- LiveUpdate
It seems to be fairly lightweight, though the lock/wipe feature will be built into Android 2.2, so it’ll have to fight that off somehow. More screenies after the break. [Norton]
