Yes - Lookout - free - excellent and on App Store.
"Find my phone" can also be obtained from iTunes Store.
It all depends what sort of security you want and whether you are Jailbroken or not.Last edited by ziffos; 10-06-2012 at 11:08 AM.
At my age it can be difficult to understand what others regard as simple!

If you are worried about malware, viruses & such Jack, you needn't be. The iPad doesn't have a problem in that area. At all.
- Apple - iPad3 16gb, iOS 6.0.1
- Android - Samsung Galaxy S, CnM Touchpad II, Asus TF101, Lenovo A1, Motorola Xoom 2 ME, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7. (But not all at once )

Well, I get an access denied, but that was within the IPF app on my iPad. Originally Posted by ziffos

iPads cannot get viruses. Not in the traditional sense. Apps are sandboxed, which means one app cannot mess around with another app or its data.
The only known malware attacks have been on Jailbroken devices using an ssh attack.
You not need to worry about viruses.
