About Anti-Theft

Anti-Theft protects your data against unauthorized access and helps locate your device if it is lost or stolen. You can send commands to your device remotely via My Kaspersky.

Anti-Theft is turned off by default. To send commands to your device remotely, turn on the Anti-Theft feature on your device. Try some functions right now so that you can act without hesitation if your device is lost or stolen.

If you don't turn on Anti-Theft before your device goes missing, you can't use it to locate or remotely control your device.

You can send commands from My Kaspersky to do the following:

• Get the location of the missing device, lock it and show a message on the screen of the locked device.
• Turn on a loud alarm on the device.
• Perform a factory reset on the device, including wiping the memory card.
• Take a mugshot of the person currently using the device.

  This feature is only available on devices that have a front camera.

Additionally you can set Anti-Theft to do the following:

• Block the device when someone inserts a new SIM card in it. To do this, use the SIM Watch function.
• Protect Kaspersky Internet Security against being uninstalled and protect system settings against being changed.

Anti-Theft settings are protected by a screen lock.
