Anti-Theft
If your device gets lost or stolen, Anti-Theft lets you send remote commands from the anti-theft.kaspersky.com portal to turn on a loud alarm on the device, lock and locate the device, wipe device data, and get the mugshot of the person currently using your device.
You can allow or block the remote start of Anti-Theft functions on the device.
If the Anti-Theft feature is blocked on your device, a launch command sent via the web portal will not be executed. For example, remote launching of Mugshot will be blocked. If a command to obtain a photograph is sent from the web portal to the device, then the application will not be able to carry it out.
For the app to be able to launch Anti-Theft remotely, this function needs to be allowed on the device.
Allow Lock & Locate
You can allow or block the Lock & Locate function that lets you lock the device remotely and receive its coordinates via the anti-theft.kaspersky.com website.
If this function is allowed on the device, on receiving the Locate & Lock command the app locks the device and shows its coordinates on the website. If the function is blocked on the device, the app cannot execute the Lock & Locate command.
The app determines the device coordinates using GPS or wireless and mobile networks.
To enable the app to determine the device coordinates using GPS, you must enable GPS in device settings. This enables the app to use the GPS module when it receives the Lock & Locate command. If the app cannot get the device coordinates using GPS, it uses wireless and mobile networks to do so.
Allow Alarm
You can allow or block the Alarm function that lets you block the device remotely and turn on a loud alarm on the device via the anti-theft.kaspersky.com website.
If this function is allowed on the device, on receiving the Alarm command the device locks the device and turns on the alarm. If the function is blocked on the device, the app cannot execute the Alarm command.
Allow Mugshot
You can remotely allow or block the Mugshot function that lets you use the anti-theft.kaspersky.com website to obtain a photograph of the person who is currently using your device, as well as lock your device.
Mugshot only works on devices with a front camera, and doesn't work on devices without a front camera.
The Mugshot feature lets you get a photo of the person currently using your device. This function secretly turns on the front camera, takes a photo of the user, and locks the device.
If this function is allowed on the device, after the app receives the Mugshot command, it secretly takes a photo using the front camera and then locks the device.
If the function is blocked on the device, the app cannot execute the Mugshot command.
Allow Data Wipe
You can allow or block the Mugshot function that lets you wipe device data using the anti-theft.kaspersky.com website.
Data Wipe lets you remove the following data:
- Personal data (such as contacts, correspondence, and Google account details) and data stored on the memory card
- All data, including memory card data
Visit the anti-theft.kaspersky.com portal to choose the data to be wiped remotely.
After the Full Reset command is executed, Kaspersky Tablet Security is removed from the device and it will no longer be able to receive remote commands.
If this function is allowed on the device, on receiving the command to wipe selected data, the app executes the command.
If the function is blocked on the device, the app cannot execute the command to wipe selected data.
