Title says it all.

Which Anti-Theft application do you use for your smartphone device?

Edit: For all common OSes, Android, iOS, WP8.

I'll add a Poll (so remember to come back and vote :D), when I get an idea what kind of services are available.

Thanks :)
 
Avast Anti-Theft. It's free, easy to use, and it has a lot of features. Nothing else comes close to this product.

There is another one, only one I can think of at the moment is what Jack said, Avast.

I'm assuming your talking about Android?
 
I've been using Cerberus for my Android mobile for a long time since there was a giveaway for it.

I love its features and I can have up to 5 devices on the one account.

So far it hasn't failed yet, nor can I say I've had any of my devices stolen but I'm glad to have it ready for when the need arises.
 
For Android, I use Cerberus, which I had for free through a giveaway. If you want a free app, avast is what I recommend.

For iOS, I found this: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8&ls=1
The disadvantage of this is that you can find the lost device only from another iPhone/iPad. There is prey, but I find its free version to be a bit too limited. There are other apps but I remember the device need to be jail broken (am I right?).

I can't find any app for Windows phone.
 
I did some research and found that "Find My i/Phone" are both part of WP and iOS, requiring either MS/iCloud account.

Android is out of the question, looking for iOS / WP8 Anti-Theft responses. Thanks :D
