not sure about Avast's anti theft but check out some videos on Cerberus. another thing is that for rooted devices, u can install it using CWM and it will be an built in app. a full wipe cant destroy it. it has a disguised name too

Flashing a new ROM destroys EVERYTHING.
Sadly we can't lock CWM recovery/download mode with a password. THAT would be bawse.
But amongst the tracking/anti theft apps I've used, Cerebrus is the undisputed champ. Samsung Dive (or anything else for that matter) pales in comparison.
As for anti viruses, lol. Yes, malware IS an issue on Android, but eff, YOU ARE PRESENTED WITH A PERMISSIONS LIST WHEN INSTALLING STUFF, CHECK IT.
I DO agree it helps for people who can't be bothered to check though - though myself I can do without the extra resource drain. Plus, got funny business happening to your phone? Nandroid restore lar. This is why taking 10 minutes a WEEK to backup helps.
