☆ WHY WAVESECURE? ☆
For many of us, our mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets do more than just entertain us with games such as Angry Birds and Paper Toss. We get on Facebook and Twitter for our social interaction. We communicate over Skype or eBuddy. We make payments through PayPal and even do our mobile banking.
We keep many of the important details of our lives on our mobile devices, yet we don’t always think about the importance of mobile security. But if our devices are lost or stolen, we need to back up and secure our personal data and media like photos and videos.

Great Product I have been using WaveSecure since Beta and have been completely pleased with the backups, GPS location, and text-lock commands. #1 Mobile Security software HANDS DOWN!
★★★★★
Amazing app. A must have if you really want full protection. Some great additional features too. Using HTC Desire. Works perfectly.

To retain your Lifetime subscription... If you downloaded WaveSecure during their free lifetime subscription promo, please note this only applies to your original device. If you have upgraded your phone and you would like to KEEP your lifetime subscription, do not install version 4.3.x on your new device (at least not initially). Versions 4.3.x and beyond will enforce the above policy and, upon detecting a mismatch between the device ID associated with your profile and your new device ID, downgrade your subscription to a Trial. Versions 4.2.x and earlier will simply update the associated device ID on your McAfee profile to that of your new device, and allow you to continue with a lifetime subscription. -Source: McAfee T2 Tech Support
★★☆☆☆
There free ones just as good They make it almost impossible to uninstall this free trial
★★☆☆☆
What "lifetime" subscription? Lifetime subscription is only good for the initial phone you register. You get a new phone you pay another fee. Support is horrible. Can't verify sms.
★★☆☆☆
Where's my lifetime subscription? I was an early adopter of Wavesecure, before McAfee bought them. I was promised a free lifetime membership, and McAfee originally said they'd honor it
