Online family so parents to modify the configuration of their kids phone remotely from their own phone. Utilities: close apps, clean cache, etc Connect: To access your 360 backups.
Virus scanning is a bitch on a cell phone it will bog you down big time. i have the Macfee one (they gave me a free year) and I had to turn off scanning. It also keeps telling me my rooting apps are malware. Maybe this one works better but not for 30 bucks a year!
I installed this app on my HTC ThunderBolt, and the security of this app was great. However it does drain ALOT of battery from your phone. With LookOut security I usually go from 100% 7am to around 70% 11pm. With this Norton app I went from 100% 7am to 29% 11pm. All in all this is provides your phone with norton quality security, however at the cost of your battery life.
My T-Bolt has an extended battery and juice defender so don't blame the T-Bolt's bad battery life, its the app.

If Languy99's reviews on youtube are to be believed, Norton is utterly useless as an antivirus on Android. It caught 1 of the 22 sample thrown at it.garkon8 - Monday, August 15, 2011 - link
I've been using the AVG free version for about a year. I am pleased with the small footprint. But, it has never detected any threats on my phone.
