I would recommend everyone else checking this app out as it's the number 1 rated anti malware app. It is very light on the system (only uses at most 7 megabytes of ram) and it offers services like scanning every app you install when first downloading them, automatic data back up to their site, and lost device retrieval. Again it is all free!
I would even advice Kobo in looking into offering this app included with the Vox. It will reduce future customer inquires/complaints as I'm pretty sure they're going to be a few Vox's out there not running properly because user's unknowingly got malware on their devices. Since the company behind lookout offers the app for free, I'm sure they'll be more than happy for Kobo to included it on all their devices.

Now, your post is very interesting....for I had downloaded this as one of my first app on-board's. As you, I have never had the sleep issue, and can be 3 minutes, or all night long in sleep and crank the puppy right up at will. You could be very right about how this program 'calls'...to the system. Good one on you, that you think this program running in the background has defeated (not in any legit way of course...) the sleep/freeze snafu. Like I said, I use it, and like you, have not suffered this problem. Edit: I also have no battery drain issues. This could be all tied up in some wayward O.S. handling.
