Protection from malware?
I don't know anything about Android, only worked with Windows. Is there any way to safeguard from downloading malicious software onto the Vox?

Thanks for the info. I googled "Lookout for Android" and came up with a link to this:
http://www.getjar.com/Lookout-Mobile...with-Antivirus Would you more experienced folks recommend this? |

What about Lookout's demand on resources? Should I expect much of a decrease in performance?
