Key features

• Online Management of Anti-Theft features—From your ESET HOME Anti-Theft account, you have access to your device's data, including camera pictures, location tracking, on-screen messages, Anti-Theft optimization settings, current GPS position of a device when low on battery, security password change, and IP address

You can remove the file from the Ignore threats list at any time
• Proactive Anti-Theft
  If suspicious activity on your lost device is detected (such as an unauthorized SIM card being inserted or an incorrect password/pattern unlock attempt), you will receive an email notification and Proactive Anti-Theft will lock your device, take camera snapshots, and relay location information so you can track your missing device via ESET HOME.

• Scheduled scanning
