Hi there.

Can anyone recommend a decent ant-theft/tracking app (free, lite or ad-supported) that I can install on my android phone (HTC Inspire) and use my home PC to do the tracking?.

Thanks, BB
 
You might try Lookout or Seekdroid. You need to keep "Background Data" on for it to work, and GPS on for it to work accurately. Since I don't keep either of them on, I thought this sort of app was useless. But they do have "other" features that some feel are useful.

SIM Checker Lite

these 2 has also antivirus built-in (useless in my mind) :

can also turn on GPS on non-rooted phones

and this is the best one, 1 week trial, then costs 3 EUR (less than a beer) for lifetime licence :
