The Lookout didn't miss one as I would have been expecting, it missed them all both times! Our blog tries to reach out to both newbies and the business users. While there are some technical users out there, I didn't want to get so technical and specific that it misses the point. I just pointed out what it found testing twice. No settings were changed, my phone remained the same before and after. It is a positive they responded but when I emailed them to ask them to let me know of the update and if they were up for a retest I was given no response, so that says something as well. Several smartphone users are issued a device from work and many don't really learn the technical side of their phone, including newbies. We're here to be informative and not go into so much detail, since there are the companies who do well at posting the technical information you are referring to. Besides, if a cup doesn't hold water and I fill it twice and it leaks all the contents to empty, does it really matter if it were 5 or 8 ounces? ChrisX,

But I have to say, the way of your testing is what I call "hill billy" testing, simple but it works. (not trying to put you down here!!)I have dealt with the same issues, as far as scanning with different antivirus software and not finding or finding viruses. This kind of things happens even to the best apps, such as McAffee and Symantec. A proper test environment would show neutral results, i.e.: verifying that the antivirus software and version is actually designed for your make, model and software versions, also you need to record all data and file sizes, dates etc, before you start any testing....also making sure that the right settings are used and the databases are up to date, etc. Another good thing that came out of your testing is that actually somebody from the company responded to it and took action...this is a positive that should be counted at the end of testing as well...anyways there is simply to much to write on this topic....

I followed all the settings, but when I tried to register the device, after installation, appeared always update failed. SMobile support tried helping me, but their indications and suggestions were useless. I am writing from Italy. Can I get any help, please? Many thanks!
