Anti-virus

So the other day i was playing with my co-workers EVO 4G and noticed that he had an Anti-Virus icon...
Ive never heard of an Anti-Virus for an Android until that day,
Question: Does anyone have this on their Nexus One?
 
I use lookout, which has an antivirus, location search and a siren/screeching option.

From what I read, since Android is based off of the Linux Kernel, it doesn't need an antivirus. Blog article I found that explains it fairly well.
 
i got an email from them a few weeks back asking me if i wanted to take part in the there beta.. it has a remote look feature now

Damn...I haven't gotten an email from them for that!!! And what does the remote look feature do? Does it have a wipe feature, being able to enable the siren through a sms coded text or the ability to turn GPS on from the computer? I emailed them on those features and they said they'd look into them awhile back.

And it seems we've successfully hijacked this thread...sorry OP :p

Well, they'll hear from me about why I didn't get on their premium beta list and to put me on!!! I missed out on the wave secure free membership when they went off beta mid Feburary :( Didn't get my N1 until early March XD Though I've heard that wavesecure isn't as great as it once was...there were some issues awhile back. I think they'd have 'em ironed out by now.
 
You guys should check out ES Security Manager.

I haven't played around with it too much, but it has some nifty features. Personally, I love password protecting a certain app (GMAIL, so no one can read my email when I give them my phone.)

It also has a security feature if you phone gets lost or stolen. It'll sent you all your contacts and lock the phone for you...just through a text message.

I haven't had a chance to try the security feature yet and hope I never have to. lol.
