What do you mean by “security”?

Do you want an anti-virus app? If so, I use the free version of AVG. It works well and saved me from downloading some things that we not what they appeared to be.

Prey is a lightweight theft protection software that lets you keep an eye over [your laptop or phone] whether in town or abroad, and helps you recover them if ever lost or stolen.”

Google’s Android Device Manager has similar features.

“Ever misplaced or lost your phone? Android Device Manager locates lost devices and helps you keep your device—and the data inside it—safe and secure. Android Device Manager lets you:

● Locate Android devices associated with your Google account
● Reset your device’s screen lock PIN
● Erase all data on the phone”

I like and use Lookout. It has a bunch of features that are useful. There’s a free version and a paid version. I liked it so much I got the paid version.

Personally, I use the same program I use on my PC; Avast. Lookout is also decent.
