I installed AMS (minus Anti-theft) on my new Nexus 7 tablet and so far, so good.  It's updating automatically and working fine.

Can the AV be tested by downloading the EICAR file?
Why aren't you using the anti-theft feature ???

Two reasons. It looked like it was meant mainly for phones which obviously would be in much greater danger of being lost or stolen. I doubt if I will ever use this tablet on any other network but my home one and it does not have broadband capability.  It can not connect to phone type Wi-Fi. 

The second reason is it said something about needing elevated access privileges and I just didn't want to do that.

I tested AMS against Eicar and it passed with flying colors. I downloaded the test file and it detected and deleted it during a full scan. I then tried to install the Eicar test app from the Google Play store and it also detected that and uninstalled it. All reviews I have seen of Android security apps unanimously say that AMS is the best you can get.

My Nexus 7 connects through my Smart Phone (Tethering) and since it goes on the road with me,
the Theft Protection is essential.  :)

I don't have a Smart Phone so I can't tether the tablet. I can definitely see why you need the anti-theft feature though.

It's on Google Play, but I can post it here as well, why not:

• Simplified Anti-Theft installation
• New "Low-battery notification" feature in Anti-Theft component
• Network Meter now has a "Billing day" option
• Fixed various issues in Firewall and Call/SMS filter
• Web Shield now supports Boat Browser app and Boat Browser Mini app
• Added a Turkish language pack
• Minor user interface (UI) changes
• Other tweaks and bugfixes

When an update is available it will be placed on the google play site only at that point would it be available and should be updated automatically; so I can't see the point of having a manual process.
