My favorite apps

Aegislab's AppScan Beta is designed to stop you from ever downloading it in the first place. The application scans other apps on the Android Market and identifies any spyware or malware they may have on them by flagging them as "suspicious." It can also scan apps for any unwanted advertisements.

Remote RDP Enterprise is a remote desktop application for IT pros who want to troubleshoot company computers remotely through their Android smartphone or tablet. Features include bidirectional audio, TLS (SSL) encryption, support session auto-reconnect, zoom buttons, and mouse support. Developer Yongtao Wang says the application is optimal for tablets that have an external mouse and keyboard attached.

Lookout is a security suite with anti-malware, privacy, backup and phone tracking and remote locking.

Advanced task Killer does what is says, except for the phone company apps that always reload themselves wanted or not.

NOW THAT'S an idea, a task killer that stops phone company apps from automatically loading themselves......

Also, a secunia.com outdated application scanner for the Android would be a lovely idea also. Appscan told me I had an outdated and security risky version of Adobe Flash running, but keeping up with security is never easy and any automation of it is a plus. Hmmm, seems security apps are the deal most likely to succeed......
