Recently replaced my phone through Sprints insurance program. The new one came back with more bloatware than ever. Specifically an app called Optimize and Protect. Lookout as well, but have already frozen and removed Lookout. My question is what is Optimize and Protect and is it safe to freeze and remove as well? Runs in the background and uses data, cannot be greenifyed. Background data can be restricted but would rather just remove. I cannot find any info on google or XDA regarding this application and all results refer to Sprints protection plan. SS's will be provided.1465139287204.jpg1465139298010.jpg

I have that on my phone as well. I think these were two seperate apps before or built into the os. Anyways the protect has something to do with unsecured wifi networks. I know i get a warning which u can turn off from poping up. the optimize caches websites that you use a lot and therefore is suppose to reduce the amount of data you use. Not sure if you can remove it or if it is safe to but i just turned the features off and left it on my phone.
