Feature List

Anti-Theft

Kaspersky Mobile Security prevents user data from falling into the wrong hands, regardless of whether a Smartphone is lost or stolen.

• SMS-Block: If your Smartphone is lost or stolen, you can prevent your personal data from falling into the wrong hands by blocking the Smartphone remotely. Simply send an SMS with a predefined code word to the lost device. To unblock the Smartphone, a password that only you know needs to be entered.
• SMS-Find: You can locate your phone using SMS Find. Just send an SMS with a password to the lost device and you will receive a link to Google Maps (as soon as a GPS connection is established)* with the exact coordinates. Once you know the whereabouts of your phone, it should be clear if it was stolen or just left somewhere.
• SMS-Clean: If it’s clear that your Smartphone has been stolen and there’s no chance of getting it back, you can send an SMS with a predefined code to delete all the data stored on the device.
• SIM Watch: If someone removes the SIM from your Smartphone, the device is automatically blocked and if a new SIM is inserted, SIM Watch will immediately send you a message with the phone’s new number.
