Anti-Theft
Should your device be lost or stolen, Anti-Theft gives you the option of using the anti-theft.kaspersky.com web portal to lock the device, locate it, wipe data from it, and get the mugshot of the person currently using your device.
You can allow or block the remote launching of the Anti-Theft functions on your device.
If the Anti-Theft functions are blocked on your device, then any command sent through the web portal to launch it will not be carried out. For example, remote launching of Mugshot will be blocked. If a command to obtain a photo is sent from the web portal to the device, then the application will not be able to carry it out.
For the application to be able to launch Anti-Theft remotely, this function needs to be allowed on the device.
Allow Device Lock
Allow / block locking the device via the anti-theft.kaspersky.com web portal.
Device Lock allows you to lock the device from the web portal in order to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
If this function is allowed on the device, after the application receives a lock command from the web portal, the application locks the device.
If this function is blocked on the device, after the application receives a lock command from the web portal, the application will not be able to carry out this command.
Allow Locate
Allow / block locating the device via the anti-theft.kaspersky.com web portal.
The Locate feature allows you to locate your device and receive its map coordinates by email.
If this function is allowed on the device, after the application receives the locate command from the web portal, the exact coordinates of the device will be sent.
If this function is blocked on the device, after the application receives the locate command from the web portal, the application will not be able to carry out this command.
The application can locate the device using GPS or mobile networks (such as Wi-Fi).
To enable the application to locate the device using GPS, you must enable GPS in device settings. This will make it possible for the application to use the GPS module when it receives the command to locate the device. If the application cannot get the coordinates of the device using GPS, it uses mobile networks to do so.
Allow Mugshot
Allow / block remotely getting a mugshot of the person who is using your device at the present time.
Via the anti-theft.kaspersky.com web portal, the Mugshot feature allows you to get the mugshot of the person currently using your device. This function secretly switches on the front camera and takes a photo. Mugshot only works on devices with a front camera, and doesn't work on devices without a front camera.
If this function is allowed on the device, after the application receives the "take a photo" command from the web portal, it will secretly take a photo using the front camera.
If this function is blocked on the device, after the application receives the "take a photo" command, it will not be able to carry out this command.
Allow Data Wipe
Allow / block the deletion of data from the device via the anti-theft.kaspersky.com web portal.
Data Wipe allows you to delete information from your device remotely from the web portal to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. You can delete personal information (for example, contacts, correspondence, Google account data) or wipe all data including data on the memory card.
If this function is allowed on the device, after the application receives the data wipe command from the web portal, it will delete the selected data from the device.
If this function is blocked on the device, after the application receives the data wipe command, it will not be able to carry out this command.
