All of the products tested included the ability to remotely wipe personal data from a lost or stolen phone. The report states that "None of the products deleted all of the data irretrievably in the remote wipe test. In all cases it was possible to recover photos, music, documents and so on from the external storage card, even using a free program." Another potential problem occured when the security software accomplished its remote data wipe by resetting the phone's state to factory defaults. Admittedly, doing so wiped out personal data, but it also wiped out all apps, including the security app itself. After this step you could no longer track the phone's location.[pcmag.com]

 Hmmm ... troubling ...
