My son loses his phone once a week…

.…the first time it happened, we got it back, but the next day he lost it again

My oldest used to lose hers every 9 months...

In their first year of school, both of my kids lost a phone, so we lost a total of two phones in six months. Those weren't cheap phones either; they were presents from their grandma…

The Anti-virus Times recommends

If your smartphone or tablet uses a SIM card and runs Android, enable the Anti-theft that comes with Dr.Web Security Space for Android (you’ve already installed it, right?).

  • If you left your device somewhere or lost it, the Dr.Web Anti-theft will transmit your device’s GPS data as a link to Google Maps and display its location.

  • There are lots of honest people in this world! You can use the Anti-theft to specify a message containing your home phone number or any other number. The message will be the first thing that whoever finds your handheld will see.

    Give people the opportunity to do the right thing!

  • If you cannot find your device, but know that you've lost it somewhere nearby (home or office), there is no need to call it—just turn on the siren remotely.
  • If you've forgotten the unlock password, with Dr.Web Anti-theft you can unlock your device using one of your trusted numbers. If the chances of finding your device are slim, you can remove all your confidential information from it.

Have you already configured Dr.Web Anti-theft?
