Avast! Anti-Theft Alternatives

Avast! Anti-Theft

Avast! Anti-Theft (formerly Theft Aware by ITAgents) is an Android app that helps recover your lost or stolen smartphone. It enables you to control and find your device in the event of loss or theft.

TOP FEATURES

¦ Locate & Track your ‘lost’ phone on a map through our web-based mobile phone tracking feature (uses GPS tracker and other triangulation methods).
¦ Control your cell phone remotely via a web-based interface or SMS if the phone is stolen (to do this, go to: http://my.avast.com ).
¦ Remotely lock and/or wipe the phone memory, to keep your data safe.
¦ Remotely take photos or listen to audio of the phone’s surroundings.
¦ Set up a SIM-card-change notification to another device.
¦ Stealth Mode automatically hides the app on your phone whenever Anti-Theft is activated, so that a thief is not even aware of its presence.
