How does it stack up to other security apps? I think Avast is close to being beyond comparison, really. I honestly can't find much to complain about in terms of functionality or user experience, meaning this app is truly a winner.

At first, I was confused about them, but Avast clarified that they're actually not software updates but rather virus definition updates, and the wording will be refined in a future update.ДЄgain, these are only very minor complaints. The main settings menu also allows users to set options related to automatic software updates. I suppose in the end this adds a marginal amount of security, but when using the app, it can be a pain.

All of Avast's features seem to work perfectly, and are simply polished, intuitive, and well thought-out.Д«esides the fact that we don't (yet) have an online interface to control Avast, I have just one other minor complaint, which is that Avast asks for my PIN way too often, even asking me to re-enter the pass code while navigating within the app. The fact that it's free is a huge plus, and serves as the icing on the cake.

Overall, Avast is an incredibly strong contender among mobile security apps. That being said, Avast demoed the online interface to Artem privately in Prague, and assured us that it will be added in 'early 2012,' so the already sophisticated protection will soon be even closer to perfection.

The one (and only) complaint I have with Avast's anti-theft protection is that it relies solely on SMS commands, and has no online interface at the moment. As you may remember from previous security reviews, this is a highly sought-after feature which certainly inspires confidence in an anti-theft solution.

An extra handy feature, when installing updates, is the immediate option to install to root, essentially making Avast a system app and preventing it from being deleted or uninstalled. Theft Aware users will recognize this behavior from the good old days, as the TA Market app was just an installer. However, it's there because Anti-Theft, in fact, is a separate module (you can uninstall Avast and keep just Anti-Theft if you want), and updates to it are delivered independently of the main app. Users can set a variety of 'protection behaviors' which will be triggered upon SIM card change, or when the device is marked as 'lost.' These include some fairly standard features like lock and siren, but Avast has added some new (and refreshing features) including forced data connection, and the ability to deny a thief access to USB debugging, program manager, and phone settings, which honestly seem a lot more practical than the basic protection behaviors found in other apps.ДЄnti-Theft's advanced settings menu includes an option to check for updates, which could be confusing. The more practical aspects of Avast's protection are in the advanced settings, however.ДЄvast has included many features in their anti-theft protection that I've been looking for in other apps for a while вЂ“ namely, users can force a data connection (if rooted), and save Avast's settings in case of a data wipe.ДЇirst off, Avast offers a ton of options for when your device falls into the wrong hands.

Basic settings essentially allows users to enter their name, choose a password (for use when accessing the app itself), and remote control options (which is basically a list of 'friend' numbers which can control your device via SMS in case of loss or theft).
