Anti-Theft

 

The Anti-Theft feature protects your mobile device from unauthorized access.
 
If you lose your device or someone steals it and replaces your SIM card with a new (untrusted) one, the device will automatically be locked by Mobile Security & Antivirus and an alert SMS will be sent to user-defined phone number(s). This message will include the phone number of the currently inserted SIM card, the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number and the phone's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. The unauthorized user will not be aware that this message has been sent because it will automatically be deleted from your device's messaging threads. You can also request the GPS coordinates of your lost mobile device or remotely erase all data stored on the device.
 
NOTE: Certain Anti-Theft features (SIM Guard, Trusted Friends and SMS Text Commands) are not available on tablets that do not support messaging.

 

Version 3 of Mobile Security & Antivirus integrates completely with ESET Anti-Theft protection through my.eset.com. This allows you to monitor your device activity from the ESET Anti-Theft online portal, lock the device, send custom messages to the device finder, trigger a loud siren or wipe device data remotely.
 
To start using Anti-Theft protection, tap Anti-Theft in the main program menu. A simple wizard will guide you through creating your Security password, enabling Uninstall protection, adding your SIM card as trusted, adding a Trusted friend, entering your contact details and enabling SMS text commands. Once these steps are complete, you can associate your device with your my.eset.com account.
