kaspersky got more darkgreen boxes compared to avast so... cough 
yet despite that avast is free, despite being insanely good

*update

okay so kaspersky has a very minor advantage in detection, but avast is free and has a firewall which kaspersky lacks.

But what really convinced me the most was
On the otherhand avast has root support ..... so it protects your device from being wiped. the thief just stole a brick because wiping won't give him a usable phone, and the avast protection will still be functioning.

So Avast wins big time

i'm using avast now 

a mobile anti virus that isn't rooted is unacceptable 
i heard LBE guard is good for firewall, app rights management, and anti malware. So i'm looking at that currently

i'm new to to avast but this is what i saw during the installation setup.
there is an option to install avast onto the root. but your phone needs to be rooted, otherwise when you install it won't use that must needed feature.
so when avast is installed in root, it then tells you to use a ubiqoutous name for the folder app for it. This way the thief doesn't manually delete this folder from the root, because he may accidentally delete a core file and brick the phone.

normally if you install a av like kaspersky which doesn't install to root; despite all the security settings, they can just delete everything and factory reset, then the av can't do anything.

but if the av is rooted like avast is, they can delete, but because the av is in root, the protection will still be active.

detection and removal of virus/spyware, kaspersky is ahead of avast by a bit, but avast wins because you can install it into the root, it's free, and has more features.
if your still curious to know about the effectiveness of detect/removal of virus/malware for those competing products, i recommend you use google like i did. but from my quick search based on 2012 results, the best mobile security app was either avast or kaspersky.

i use Dolphin Browser HD.

I have never really took notice of that, will try to observe when after i use tomorrow

this is some awesome Livewallpaper. u can just stare at it and enjoy a scenery outside of earth

download it and u wont regret. its free anyway. i have all this developer's livewallpaper and this is the best of all. (at least for now before i get bored of it) 

That is one of the reason I stopped using Chrome. Now I'm using Maxthon Browser. Much better and can close browser with exit button. Try it for yourself

Proud owner of a S3 16GB Pebble Blue. =) However, battery life seems a bit let down. left about 30 percent (been using since 9am - max 4 hours of surfing net) after a full charge last night. Any tips on improving the battery life? Thx

any nice livewallpaper to introduce?

Something like this?
I think it might work
get sygic, works without internet, turn on gps and it will work nicely.

i used up alot of RAM too but there is a solution in XDA .......
