Hi!
Could you please tell me what is a difference between CAT and Anti-Theft in CMS?
Should I use CAT together with CMS or not?
Thanks!

Congratulation with the release. That will surely help people whose phone got stolen.

No. Do not use parallel to CMS with anti-theft activated.
This is the stand-alone anti-theft app.
It would be targeted towards those that just want the anti-theft part of CMS.

[John Buchanan]

Congratulations on this release. Sweet.

On a side note, it is advisable not to include a module to improve battery stats as these tend to chew up as much as you would save with them. (experience plus what I could find on various mobile forums with topics about this).

GB is very stable and good on battery usage. ICS is a heavier on the battery so UV and tweaking seem to help offset this.

Thank you anyhow.

Does Comodo Antivirus Free, or Comodo Anti Theft, for Andorid, allow to use the Internet to locate, wipe, lock, etc., my phone? If not, do you plan to offer this in the future?

[John Buchanan]

Currently no. But this will be considered in a future release.

what about the option to send pics to both buddy phone and email at the same time

Hi, developers!
Thanks for excellent soft !
If it's possible, make auto blocking of screen of smartphone after   restart or turn on  without SIM, or with wrong SIM. Without waiting any SMS.
Excuse for my poor english .

[John Buchanan]

Zjuga, you are asking for the lock screen. Does not your phone include a secure lock screen?
Or are you asking for the option to activate the password (most secure)  lock screen from within, if certain other events are detected?

[zjuga]

Thanks for answer John Buchanan!
Yes, my phone include a secure lock screen. But the screen is locked after each sleeping... it's too often
It isn't as convenient, as if the screen is locked after phone restart only.

[Ahmedent]

Thanks a lot but I send the commands from the buddy's phone and they never did what they supposed to do..my phone is samsung galaxy with android 2.3.1

[John Buchanan]

It is supposed to be locked after each blank screen (sleep). This is how your lock screen behaves normally when you secure it, why should Comodo be any different?
Your lock screen is either secured or it isn't.
This is a function of your phone.
Talk to the devs on XDA Forums if what you ask is even possible.
