Your ‘invisible’ app hides itself, making it extremely hard for thieves
to find and disable. A standalone yet tightly integrated component of
avast! Mobile Security, avast! Anti-Theft is the slyest component on the
market. Formerly known as Theft Aware, the Anti-Theft portion of avast!
Mobile Security has been recommended by leading industry experts that
include T-Mobile, N-TV, AndroidPIT, and Android Police.
avast! Mobile Security
Antivirus
Performs
on-demand scans of all installed apps and memory card content, as well
as on-access scans of apps upon first execution. Options for scheduling
scans, virus definition updates, uninstalling apps, deleting files, or
reporting a false-positive to our virus lab.
Privacy Report
Scans
and displays (grid) access rights and intents of installed apps,
identifying potential privacy risks, so you know how much info you are
really providing to each app.
SMS/Call Filtering
Filter
calls and/or messages from contact list using set parameters based on
day(s) of the week, start time, and end time. Blocked calls redirect to
voicemail, while blocked messages are stored via filter log. Also
possible to block outgoing calls.
App Manager
Similar to
Windows Task Manager, it shows a list of running apps and their size
(MB), CPU load, used memory, and number of threads and services – with
an option to stop or uninstall.
Web Shield
Part of the
avast! WebRep cloud, the avast! Web Shield for Android scans each URL
that loads and warns you if the browser loads a malware-infected URL.
Firewall
Add
a firewall to stop hackers. Disable an app’s internet access when on
WiFi and 3G and roaming mobile networks. (Works only on rooted phones.)
avast! Anti-Theft
App Disguiser
After
downloading avast! Anti-Theft, user can choose a custom name that
disguises the app (e.g. call it “Pinocchio game”) so that it is even
harder for thieves to find and remove.
Stealth Mode
Once
anti-theft is enabled, the app icon is hidden in the app tray, leaving
no audio or other trace on the target phone – the app is ‘invisible’,
making it difficult for thieves to detect or remove.
Self-Protection
Extremely
difficult for thieves to remove (especially on rooted phones),
Anti-Theft protects itself from uninstall by disguising its components
with various self-preservation techniques. On rooted phones it is able
to survive hard-resets and can even disable the phone’s USB port.
Battery Save
Anti-Theft
only launches itself and runs when it needs to perform tasks. This
preserves battery life and makes it very difficult for thieves to shut
it down.
SIM-Card-Change Notification
If stolen and a
different (unauthorized) SIM card inserted, the phone can lock, activate
siren, and send you notification (to remote device) of the phone’s new
number and geo-location.
Trusted SIM Cards List
Establish a
‘white list’ of approved SIM cards that can be used in the phone without
triggering a theft alert. You can also easily clear the trusted SIM
cards list, to leave the one present in the phone as the only trusted
one.
Remote Settings Change
A setup wizard guides the user
through the installation process on rooted phones. No command-line
knowledge is necessary to install Anti-Theft rooted. Also supports
upgrading.
Remote Features
SMS commands provide you the following REMOTE options for your ‘lost’ (or stolen) phone:
Siren,
Lock, custom Display properties, Locate, Memory Wipe, covert Calling,
Forwarding, “Lost” Notification, SMS Sending, History, Restart, and
more.
