Bitdefender Launches Anti-Theft and Turns the Tables on Thieves
Surprise Thieves by Locking a Stolen Phone, Pinpointing It on a Map, or Wiping Its Data
(firmenpresse) - BUCHAREST, ROMANIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/14/12 -- Bitdefender®, the award-winning provider of innovative solutions, launched a new anti-theft system for PCs and Android devices, giving victims of device theft control over their stolen phones, laptops or tablets.
Traditionally, thieves could take control of a person's device simply by stealing it. With Bitdefender Anti-Theft, victims of theft are able to:
Pinpoint thieves on a map
Receive notification if a thief tries to change the SIM card
Lock a thief out of the device
Trigger an alarm on a stolen Android phone
Wipe all data from the device.
"With Bitdefender Anti-Theft, we've extended our world-renowned silent security from the realm of the Internet to the actual physical world," said Product Marketing Manager Andra Cazacu. "We now protect you from viruses, phishing, Trojans -- plus those brutes who simply want to make off with your devices. If your phone is lost or stolen, you can take action in an instant with Anti-Theft."
Bitdefender Anti-Theft runs in the background -- most thieves won't even know it's there. The system protects stolen devices by locking them using PINs and passcodes. Anti-Theft quickly gives phone owners control of their device via an online account where they can wipe, lock or locate their stolen phone with a few clicks.
If a missing Android device is not connected to the Internet, the phone can still be controlled via SMS quickly and safely. Using SMS control, Bitdefender Anti-Theft can also make a device call their owners back or answer their next call.
