Not all.
There are a few, actually.

Question for App Shield Users:



I've installed the app and truthfully say it does work on unrooted devices. You can remove permissions on installed apps. (I have one rooted and one unrooted streak)

Question regarding "rollback" after removing permissions:

1. Check which permissions you want to remove
2. Click Uninstall current app
3. Click Installed modified app

Does the modified app nullify the purchase of an orig app? Or if you need to roll-back due to the removed permission causing FC's in the modified app, can you roll back (without paying for a purchased app again)?

UPDATE: Just answered my question.. tested an app by removing "make calls without your permissions" so to get the FC. I was able to uninstall the modified app and rollback to a "backup"
 
It has been brought to my attention that some of my past posts were a little on the rude side. My intention was not to be rude as i thought i was just being BLUNT. To those that i offended please, except my apologies.

If you really feel the need to use an AV application then you can't beat Lookout.

Although I have never used AV software on my SGS2.

Has lookout or any AV suite ever found a malicious app?
Nope.
Just us, the community or Google, itself.

The closest I've gotten to seeing an app actually flag something as suspcious was Norton Mobile Security (Beta) where it flagged a "web site" as malicious (i think a string is on AF discussing it)... But never have seen or read where anyone else has detected a malware by apo name from running one of these security type apps..
