This is a bit of piece of mind. I'm glad to hear that security is being taken seriously by some on the Android platform.
This is EXACTLY what I need but.. who the hell are these people? I've worked in networking for years and I don't recognize this company. Worse still, I don't see their products in the Android Market. This doesn't instill confidence for me. If I was asked my opinion on this, I would advise against installing it until there's some trust built up first. It's a clever but far too common ruse to code up malware dressed up as security software.
