On a whim I decided to shutdown Lookout for the day. Not only did it speed up my phone substantially but everything is so much smoother. After 12 hours off the charger with minimal use the battery only dropped to 90%. It was also the culprit causing my phone to lag after swipe unlocking via Widget Locker


I like the idea of having it regarding viruses, malware, etc. but until there are very real threats attacking Android OS I'm done with it.
 
For all those looking to solve the mystery of where the heck Device Admin settings are on phones like HTC Vivid like I have been doing: I was looking to deactivate Lookout. My exhaustive search has informed me to look in Settings then Location and Security…which is nonexistent. Then I finally had a ‘duh moment’. Go to the app itself and deactivate device admin! Then the ‘uninstall’ option is granted/lit up in your Settings–Apps. Frustration induced self harm/binge drinking averted.
