About Anti-Theft

Anti-Theft protects your data against unauthorized access and helps to locate the device if it is lost or stolen.

Anti-Theft lets you perform the following operations remotely:

• Lock the device and determine its location
• Turn on a loud alarm on the device
• Wipe data from the device
• Take a mugshot of the person currently using the device
• Block the device and get new phone number remotely by using SIM Watch feature in case the device has been lost or stolen

You can remotely launch Anti-Theft functions using My Kaspersky portal or using special SMS commands in the Kaspersky Internet Security interface on another device. To send an SMS command, you need to know the secret code to Kaspersky Internet Security on your device.

You can allow or block the remote launch of Anti-Theft functions on your device. If the launch of Anti-Theft is blocked, it is not possible to start it remotely.

Access to Anti-Theft settings is protected with a secret code (specified during initial configuration of Anti-Theft or when Privacy Protection is launched for the first time).
