Device Lock
If your device gets lost or stolen, Anti-Theft lets you send remote commands that 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. If the SIM card is replaced or the device is turned on without a SIM card, Anti-Theft can block the device or send you the new phone number so you can remotely engage other Anti-Theft features on the device.
You can remotely engage Anti-Theft features from any device via the anti-theft.kaspersky.com website or using special SMS commands. You can send a standard SMS message with a special code from another mobile device. If Kaspersky Mobile Security is installed on another device, you can send an SMS command from the app. To send an SMS command, you need to know the secret code to Kaspersky Mobile Security on your device.
You can allow or block the remote start of Anti-Theft functions on your device. If the launch of Anti-Theft is blocked, it is impossible to start it remotely.
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 or the SMS command find: <code> (where <code> is the secret code to Kaspersky Mobile Security on your device).
Outgoing SMS commands are billed according to the price plan of the other mobile device.
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 you send an SMS command, the app sends the device coordinates in the return SMS. The app also sends the device coordinates in an SMS message to the phone number or email address if you specify them in the Anti-Theft settings in the Ways to receive new phone number and device location section.
Outgoing SMS messages are billed according to the price plan of your mobile service provider.
To send an email message, the app sends an SMS to the dedicated number of the MTS mobile carrier (Russia). The MTS mobile carrier (Russia) sends the device coordinates to your email address.
SMS messages to the special number are billed at the rate of your mobile operator.
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.
SIM Watch
You can allow or block the SIM Watch function that lets you obtain the new phone number of the device after the SIM card has been replaced, or lock the device if the SIM card is replaced or the device is switched on without a SIM card.
In the Ways to receive new phone number and device location section of Anti-Theft settings you can specify the phone number and email address to which the new phone number will be sent when the SIM card is replaced. The Device lock settings section also lets you enable the function that locks the device when the SIM card is replaced or the device is switched on without a SIM card.
If the function is allowed on the device, when the SIM card is replaced or the device is switched on without it, the app performs the selected operation (for example, sends the new phone number via SMS or email and locks the device).
To send an email message, the app sends an SMS to the dedicated number of the MTS mobile carrier (Russia). The MTS mobile carrier (Russia) sends the new phone number to your email address. SMS messages to the special number are billed at the rate of current mobile operator.
If the function is blocked on the device, the app does not control actions on the SIM card.
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.
Data Wipe
You can allow or block the Mugshot function that lets you wipe device data using the anti-theft.kaspersky.com website or the SMS command wipe: <code> (where <code> is the secret code to Kaspersky Mobile Security on your device).
Outgoing SMS commands are billed according to the price plan of the other mobile device.
Data Wipe lets you remove such personal data as contacts, correspondence, and Google account data, as well as memory card data.
If this function is allowed on the device, the app deletes personal data on receiving a data wipe command. If you send an SMS command, the app returns an SMS confirming data deletion.
