Kaspersky Internet Security for Android

Protecting the app against uninstallation

You can protect Kaspersky Internet Security against being uninstalled on the device. If your device is stolen, intruders won't be able to uninstall Kaspersky Internet Security and prevent you from using the Anti-Theft feature.

Changing some system settings interrupts the work of protection features in Kaspersky Internet Security. When you turn on uninstallation protection, such systems settings are protected against changes. When someone tries to change them, your device is locked. You will be able to unlock the device by using your device PIN, lock pattern, or fingerprint.

To protect Kaspersky Internet Security against being uninstalled on the device:

1. On the Kaspersky Internet Security quick launch panel, tap Anti-Theft.
2. Unlock access to the feature by using your secret code, unlock pattern, or fingerprint.
3. In the Additional protection section, tap Uninstallation protection.
4. Turn on the feature.

Kaspersky Internet Security will ask for the secret code when someone tries to uninstall the app. The device will be locked when someone tries to change the system settings affecting your device protection.
