Features
Antivirus Protection
“Always on” virus protection and an on-demand scanner help keep your device clear of viruses and unsafe apps. One touch scans and scheduled scans are provided as well as a system “Health Check” feature that quickly identifies viruses, unsafe apps and potentially risky settings.
Software & Process Manager
CMS gives you full visibility and control over running processes. You can see how many are running, how much memory each uses and can quickly close down the ones you don’t want. Software Manager helps you uninstall or kill apps which may be slowing down your phone down.
SMS & Call Blocking
Instantly filter out annoying SMS messages and phone calls by configuring black/white contact lists. Alternatively, simply block all text messages containing certain keywords.
Privacy Protection
Your Private Space is where you store contacts, phone numbers and text messages that are for your eyes only. Once added, only you will be able to view those communications. In addition, App Protector enables you to lock your apps from being accessed by unauthorized users.
Anti-theft Protection
Recover your device easily if it is mislaid, lost or stolen. Make the device sound an alarm, to identify it if you have just misplaced it. The anti-theft feature enables you to get the location of your device and get a photograph of the possessor at your email, even if its SIM card is changed. You can also lock the device to prevent mis-handling and wipe off all your confidential data including SMSes, Contacts, Browser Bookmarks, even the pictures, music/video and other files stored in its memory card – all done remotely, just by sending commands as SMS messages from your buddy’s phone.
Traffic Monitoring & Backup
