Strong tool with 2 glaring weaknesses that it cost 2 star ...

Home you get a small package are demonstrated to installation in several ways. Since I use an Android phone (version 4.0.4), I describe this path.
Here you go either in the Play Store, enters the link address, or scan the printed QR code.

After a short registration, when you actually have to mention the e-mail address, it is already happening. Here I must say that I have set up a second email address for such things, so that the regular mail address will not be zugebombt with advertising.

Download and installation went quite fast.

A blatant WEAKNESS

And here we come to have a strong weakness. A professional thief first looks for such programs and uninstall it. This you can do without entering a password. Since not everyone with his mobile phone SIM PIN and device password protection you'd have as a manufacturer and supplier of software of this kind actually itself to that.
This makes a star deduction. Should there be an update with this feature, I would enhance the product again.

----------

The first scan

First you should run the "Live Update" to ensure that the latest signatures are present. Now you can start the first scan, here you have to let the mitscannen possibly inserted SD card equal to the option

THEFT PROTECTION

For theft protection includes several options you can trigger on its own device by sending an SMS. One uses a keyword and einee 4-digit number for it.

eg "Scream 1234" and already sets the unit going with a persistent alarm, even if it is set to silent.

Furthermore, you can lock the device, locate it or delete the data on the phone.

The locate the course fuktioniert only if the device has a network, but is exactly within a few meters. Deleting all data is then the very last option, if you have to assume that you can not see the device again.

The necessary commands and the mobile website you should note in advance at home on paper.

----------

BACKUP:

If you made a backup of your contacts in advance, you can download this here again.

Criminals have rights:

Actually, Norton offers here the meaningful function that the device takes a snapshot of Entwenders with the built front camera. Just what makes Norton? Bevormnundet and mothered the user with the statement that this is not allowed in Germany and therefore was not anwendabr.

This statement is incorrect, because then likely yes nowhere in the public eye cameras. What then only should not do is to publish the photo. For example, on Facebook and write who knows this thief of my cell phone. Only then is the moral rights would be violated. If, however, the photo above is the law enforcement agencies that is something else, because it is used for investigation of an offense.

This unnecessary paternalism also costs a star deduction. If Norton decide differently here and unlock this function, there is a revaluation.

----------

Add-ons

By Ewerb and the software unlock on one also equal more Norton tools in Google PlayStore freely whether to use that information and whether they are used as. eg parental control, everyone must decide for themselves.

----------

CONCLUSION:

Norton Mobile Security is a powerful versatile tool, but it costs 2 points because every third person can remove the protection and an important theft Fuktion is not by patronizing Norton available.
