  • Any anti-theft app for iphone?

    is there any anti-theft apps for iphone??

    this is a really good question. before stepping up for apple i was with nokia, samsung and sony
    with samsung products they have like this security thing which you activate and whenever the SIM cards changed itll send you alerts of which number is currently on the phone. same goes for my sony experia z. i downloaded an app called netqin and it sure did me a lot! i tried downloading it on apple but couldnt. its a pity we pay more to apple yet we still dont get our lost iphones back.

  • What is the best anti theft app for an iPod touch

    What is the best anti-theft application for an iPod touch? Is there one where I can register the serial number, and then if someone tries to do a hard reset and hook it into iTunes online it will alert me. Is something like that available? Or, can all anti-theft software be overidden with a complete 'hard' reset?
    Thanks,
    John Thompson

    There is no app that will prevent some one from stealing and then using your device.  Like Limmos said, wiping the device erases all data and then its just a matter of connecting the device to a computer running iTunes and restoring the device to factory settings and then setting it up as a new device.
    In short, once its gone, its gone...

  • Hi, What is the best anti theft app for i phone 4's?

    I like one called "i got ya" as it take's a photo of the theff when they enter the wrong pin number and sends it to your e-mail, The ony down side is that to get this app you must jailbreak you phone to get the "i got ya" app.

    Is it that easy to restore the iphone even if I have a pin?
    I think it's a shame with all the tecnology with have we can't some how stop the phone from working if it ever gets stolen.
    I think the best route to go down is to get it insured
    Thanks for you help

  • Anti-theft Apps

    Hi there. I would like to know if there is any app out there on the appstore that takes pictures anonymously in case someone types a wrong password, and sends it to my email address with GPS positioning (anti-theft app). I found one a few weeks ago called "Dot Lock Secure", which promised 10 different password systems to use (amont them the famous dot lock used by android phones), and secret photo taking in case of an attemp to "break in". This was a godsend, specially considering that there is an app for that for Cydia users, called IGotYa, wich has already proven effective in case of stolen phones. I recently had my iphone stolen,  and it sucked, specially considering how ineffective Find my iPhone is on these situations, it is a simple matter of turning off the phone to avoid location, and formating it as soon as one reaches a computer.
    Is there any good anti-theft app out there?
    Also, where can I post suggestions to apple? Find my iPhone should be used not only for remote locking, wiping and messages, but also to prevent turning off the phone and secret photo taking. Apple has the tech, it makes no sense not to use it...Also, since every phone is has a single serial code, it should be possible to track it even after it has been formated...
    Well, hope someone can help.
    Thanks

    You can leave feedback for Apple here: http://www.apple.com/support/feedback/
    Also, I haven't heard of an app that you're describing.  I think they should have an option to set a code in order to turn the phone off as well as unlocking it.

  • Anti-theft device for iPod?

    Recently had my 60GB iPod stolen at work. Does anyone know of a good anti-theft device for the iPod? I note that they use a pretty good system to prevent theft of iPods at Apple stores, but the salesperson there couldn't tell me what it was or where to get it. Does anyone here know? Thanks.

    But if they do connect it to a computer and they dont have any iPod software then there pretty much screwed because then the iPod will get messed up since they have no way of disconnecting it.... and if they do disconnect it by just pulling the plug(not safely disconnecting it)then most likely the iPod will not continue to work.

  • Anti theft software for s60 v5?

    Is there any good effective anti-theft solution for the nokia s60v5? I use the nokia 5233. The software should preferably be free. thanks.

    There is also the F-secure Anti Theft software for free from Ovi Store. Mind you now that none of these will actually get you your phone back. But they will stop the thief from accessing your information.
    You should also just consider just using the built in security features on your phone in Security Settings>Phone and Sim Card. Here you can set the phone to lock when the sim card is changed and you can also set thephone to lock when you send an sms to it.

  • What is the best anti-theft software for a laptop?

    Hi-
    My daughter is off to college tomorrow and I thought it would be a good idea to install some anti-theft/retrival software on her brand new 2.4 Ghz Mac Book.
    I thought I would wait until she's there so it has the college server/IP address.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks-
    Ray

    Why? There are no viruses affecting Macs. Just use common sense. Don't open email attachments you don't know where they came from. Same with software. Don't download or install software you don't know where it came from and you will be fine.

  • What anti-theft solutions are best for the ipad?

    Hello,
         I would like to know which anti-theft solutions are best for the IPad. I am ordering several for work and I would like to know. Thanks.

    It depends upon how far you are willing to go.  Keeping it locked in a bank vault comes to mind but I suppose you want more flexibility.  Are you talking about physical attachment or just something to discourage a thief, or something to protect data integrity in case of theft? Realize that in many situations somebody may steal something and only later check if it has any value.  If it doesn't they will toss it in the nearest river, but you've still lost it.  As for iPads, a thief can reset one and it's like new.
    Find My iPad - http://www.apple.com/ipad/icloud/#find - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be on and connected to registered WiFi network or data service, and not having been restored by the finder (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).  If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.

  • Guidance to develop 2-way GSM (Mobile application) for car anti-theft Secur

    I am software Developer (Java / J2EE). I am new to J2ME. I want to develop a car security system using 2-way GSM (mobile communication).
    My Project Working / Requirement :
    The alarm is applied with a mobile telephone SIM card (excluded), allowing the alarm to make and receive telephone calls whenever car is tempered with. This also allows you to track the location of the car via the telephone signal. Any SIM Card can be used. To use the system, just call the telephone number of the alarm, enter your pin number and a voice menu will guide you through the options. The pin-number system prevents unauthorized access to the alarm features. The manufacturing PIN number is pre-set and can be re-set by the owner. Calls can be made to the alarm by any telephone. Two alarming telephone numbers can be registered on the alarm. If the alarm is triggered, the alarm will automatically call the first telephone number within 13 seconds. This is in addition to the regular alarm (flashing lights, siren). If there is no reply, it will call the second number. The user can then reset the alarm, monitor the car, send a verbal warning to the burglars or stop the car by the telephone.
    Queries :
    1. I need suggestion on how do I go about it? 2 ways I can think of�..
    a) Car anti-theft Device (an electronic device) which triggers the alarm whenever car is tempered with, will be readily available in market. Now I have to implement 2-way GSM alarming. So how do I integrate or implement above explained working in that electronic device so as to send / receive calls through alarm.
    b) Is there any way, where directly from scratch I develop alarming system using just mobile phones, where it will be programmed to work as explained above.
    2. I want to know is there any open source codes available which is similar to
    this type of application. From which site I will get it?
    3. I am studying tutorial of J2ME and have started developing midlets (studying CLDC/MIDP). But I want to know what exactly I need to learn in J2ME? Which APIs I need to study to implement above project?
    4. Anybody has done any similar type of project? Please give me some idea.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dhara

    Please explore some more, I dont get what u mean by alarm, alarm features, alarm to make and receive telephone calls, alarm is applied with a mobile telephone

  • Should I get anti-virus software for my MBP?

    I know there are not that many virus that Macs can get however I tend to download quite a lot of software from the internet that may not be that trust worthy. Should I get some anti-virus software, and if so, what would you recomend?

    Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
    The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of Mac OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
    “Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Migrate to a newer version of the Mac OS as soon as you can.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
