Protect personal data with automatic virus scans and infected-URL
alerts. Stop hackers by adding a firewall (rooted phones). Control
anti-theft features with remote SMS commands for: history wipe, phone
lock, siren activation, GPS tracking, audio monitoring, and many other
useful tools. 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.
Recent changes:
- Multiple bug fixes.
- Added Japanese and Dutch language packs.
- Scan of the SD card(s) now starts immediately.
- Added an option to keep the CPU running while scanning significantly increasing the speed of the automatic scan.
- Added an option to offer blocking of messages from numbers not in contact list upon their arrival.
- Enhanced usability of the password dialog.
