Anti Theft protection

I forgot my blackberry ID and the security question. I wiped my phone and just realized that i have the anti theft protection on my phone. It will not allow me to create a new one. Am I screwed? Is there a way to create a new one on my device?

Your BBID is your email address and password, if anti-theft is activated then the BBID and password must be entered before you can wipe the device http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do;jsessionid=427A5AF1B8091B70898A22FCC65D7460?externalId=KB36737&sliceId=2&cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&noCount=true&ViewedDocsListHelper=com.kanisa.apps.common.BaseViewedDocsListHelperImpl

Accidentally deleted my BBID associated with Anti-theft protection that was still on.

On July 15 I bought $600 BB Passport from a vendor at a popular IT market in Bangkok, Thailand. Currently, Blackberry is completely gone from Thailand, no service provider nor authorized dealer for BB Passport. I accidentally deleted BBID used with Anti-theft protection feature and it was on when this happened. I can't remember exactly how that happened and why it was so easy to delete the BBID without knowing I actually did. I recreated new BBID by using the same email and question for recovery but it did not work as my device won't accept it and kept saying the Anti-theft protection is on. Unfortunately I have tried so many times to put the password associated with the accidentally deleted BBID but it still did not work. Now the BB passport is like an expensive brick to me. I have taken the photo of my old BBID that was deleted. I have my BBM Pin that was set up by using this old BBID. I know the screen name of it, except one thing the password that no matter how I tried it was not accepted to my device. Things got worst when the vendor I bought the device from reformatted my device and i still CANNOT use my new BBID to set up the device. I have no carrier as BB passport is not official to Thailand. Please help i am so desperate. I have been waiting for so long to have this device. I took the risk of knowing that no provider in Thailand. Thank you so much

I might be able to help you some more. If your able to log onto protect.blackberry.comAnd you can see your deviceGo to manage devicesNear the bottom select removeThen log out of Protect web page. Then go back to the device,Enter the password to many times until it wipes clean.If it didn't power off and back on during the wipe then do that first. Now you should be able to log onto the device using your protect.blackberry.com ID and password You should be all set than Unfortunately I don't have an support email for them

Do I need to get an ID theft protection subscription?

I'm new at this so please excuse my ignorance.
Because I do virtually all of my banking, bill paying, and shopping online, I'm worried about
ID theft. I checked out a couple of them and they are not compatible with mac. I know I don't need anti-virus or spyware software, which come included.
Worthwhile to pursue and if so, what services work for my mac & iphone?
Thanks.

I think you are mostly in uncharted waters here, but I must admit to have no idea what protection is available to be provided on the Windows side of the world, so I can't compare it to what I know is available on the OS X side.
Macworld published this article a couple of years ago -- Protect your privacy: avoid identity theft which is as good as any advise I could give today.
There is PrivacyScan from SecureMac. Have not tried it, but probably will check it out shortly to see what it offers.
ClamXav was suggested earlier (full disclosure: I do uncompensated tech support on the ClamXav Forum). The ClamAV scan engine has rudimentary support for Data Loss Protection (Social Security and Credit Card numbers) but it is disabled by default.
Intego has included Identity Scrubber in it's home use Premium packages.
A quick Google reveals that almost all of the major OS X A-V vendors claim to offer ID Theft protection.
I don't know anything about YourIdentitySafe, but they seem to have a lot of data, suggestions and recommendations on this subject. I don't see any reviews that include OS X software, however, just
Things we’d like to see included are:
Support for Mac/Apple products like iPhones. Currently, the anti-virus, anti-keylogging and MOBILE LOCKBOX® are only for Windows software. Macs are inherently less susceptible to hackers but some kind of protection to include these systems would be nice.
Personally, I would not rely on software to protect me, even if I had it. I think it would give me a false sense of security.

Security, anti-theft

Hi,
Last week I bought a cellphone and it was lifted out of my car in less than 12 hours. I now have a brand new Bold. I hesitated in buying it since it is a valuable commodity, but I was told that the anti-theft features were quite good. Apparently the phone can be tracked via GPS if you activate it immediately. I have also heard about monitoring software that works in the background and can send out security details if the SIM card is ever changed.
I learned of PhoneBAK BB, which is an application available at Download.com and which has a high rating according to the site managers.
Has anyone heard of this? Are there other security options available that anyone has had any experience with?
Does anyone know of a website that explains how to secure a cellphone against theft?
I would be quite interested in hearing about it.
Cheers,
Mikey53

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While there is no way to really secure a device "against theft", there are measures you can take to do the things you discuss -- but IMHO the device itself is a commodity. The data contained on it, however, is potentially priceless. Hence, there are two things that BB's have that I consider invaluable:
1) Backups -- the desktop software lets you backup all of your critical data. Further, if you are synchronizing with a desktop PIM, your data is already backed up there.
KB12487 How to backup data on a BlackBerry smartphone
KB17022 How to configure synchronization settings for BlackBerry Desktop Manager
2) Device Password -- once activated, this will be required to unlock the device. After 10 sequential failed attempts, the device will wipe itself clean of all of your personal data.
KB16307 Actions that the BlackBerry smartphone performs during a BlackBerry smartphone wipe processes
With those two measures, I consider anything else to be somewhat useless...replacing the device is simple (yes, it could cost $$$, but it is easy)...replacing the data is really hard. And protecting that data from others is IMO essential.
Hope that helps!

How and where to hide anti theft soft in order not...

In my n95,i have bought kaspersky antivirus which have anti theft function also.But installing soft in phone memory or memory card can be removed by thieves by hard reset or formatting before sim change if thieves are clever enough.Even folder lock or ADV also fails if hard reset is done.Isn't there any solution to hide this software or such setting that it cannot be removed by hard reset?

actually theres no need to get that far. I installed Kaspersky Mob security on both my E71 and N8 and i can easily uninstall them by the app manager!!!! No need for factory restart or firmware reinstallation. A novice can get rid of this "protection" software by just one click

BIOS - Full Theft Protection module Activation - Current setting Permanently disabled

Hi,
Recently purchased a Lenevo X301 laptop and installed with Windows XP. Unfortunately while changing the BIOS setiings, i have selected permanently disable option for computrance anti theft agent under Security settings.
Now I have settings are as follows..
Full Theft Protection module Activation
Current setting - Permanently disabled
Remote Diaable module activation
Current settin - Permanently disabled
I tried to change it enabled state in several ways, but i am not successful, Could you please help me how to activate computrance agent.
Also one more question, do i need to purchase the Computrace LoJack to activate Anri Theft agent in my laptop.
Your quick response is highly appreciated.

Regarding your keyboard problem, it seems to be a very low-level problem. The driver cannot access the Control Registers on the Keyboard. By going down from your error message to the lowest level, one can see that it's probably a simple "outb" operation (write data on a specified address, shouldn't fail if the address is correct...) that doesn't succeed.
So I think you defintely need to look in your BIOS if you didn't deactivate something when upgrading, or messed with some address space, or many things I cannot think of right now.
Good luck

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.

Forgot to turn off anti-theft before doing a security wipe

Hi,I am new to this forum and in serious need of help.Last night, i wanted to do a factory reset on my phone.I did not do any back up, instead i imported all important media and documents using the blackberry link. I couldnt get my blackberry ID working so mistakenly "DELETED" the id instead of just asking for a resetBlack berry link has a button for factory reset, which i wanted to do, so i proceed with that and the reset start also.The problem is, I am now stuck on the process of reconfiguring my phone. It is asking for a blackberry username and password which i "deleted" earlier, So i had to resetup my blackberry id only to find out it is no long associated with my phone.whenever i try to use the id and password, it gives an error "The blackberry protect anti-theft feature is on. Please sign in with the blackberry ID used to set up this device"Please advice on how can i resolve this issue.

Unfortunately, you're not in a good situation. Here is BlackBerry's official word on this issue:
If you purchased your device from ShopBlackBerry, Amazon (US/UK) or the Porsche Design Store, please contact BlackBerry using the details found on our Contact Us page.
BlackBerry Contact Us > http://blck.by/1MxtqPR
If you purchased your device from a wireless service provider, or a retail store in person, or online, please contact them for assistance.
When contacting your point of purchase, please have the following prepared;
DO NOT POST THIS INFORMATION IN THESE FORUMS
-Your BlackBerry ID
-Proof of purchase such as a receipt
-A copy of your wireless bill that shows your phone #
-A copy of your Government issued ID
Thanks,
So, you will need to contact your provider (assuming you purchased it from them) and have them escalate you to BlackBerry.

Intel Anti Theft on X220

Hi all
i have a brand new X220 i7 that i really like - and would like to keep it to myself! :-)
It is equipped with Intel Anti Theft and i would like to activate it. As far as i understand, it takes some service provider to activate it and that provider will keep track of the device and send a 'kill-pill' if i request it.
I have contacted Lenovo in Denmark, but they only gave me a link to some company that provide some protection software.
Does anyone know any Intel anti theft service provider in Denmark/Europe??

Mozilla Firefox is my internet browser, I would like to download my McAfee Anti-Virus protection DVD.

I have a new Window 7 Premium Home Edition,Model: Inspiron 560. It came with a 30 day free trail of McAfee Anti-Virus Protection, which expires in less than three days. Roughly, two weeks ago, I received in the mail from QVC, a DVD, named PC Treasures, Inc.-Total PC Software Suite, which has my four year McAfee Anti-Virus Protection program on it.
I was told by one of those so-called Dell experts techs, to install that DVD, into the tray of your modern, a small box would appear in the left-hand bottom of your screen, and type in "RUN". Nothing happened!!! Now,the PC that I had for 15 years, did this, but with this new one, not the same.What do I do, in installing or down loading this DVD? I could use a step by step instructions.

This does not sound to be a Firefox problem.
An obvious question is does your machine play DVDs ?
You will probably need to be in an admin account.
You should be able to use your Firefox browser to find assistance.
* try http://home.mcafee.com/root/support.aspx <-- clickable link --
( If the DVD is provided by and bought from Dell you may need to contact them that is apparently http://support.dell.com/ )

Intel Anti Theft not working properly

I am having problems with Itel Anti Theft keep locking every 7 days as my lap top is not communicating with the Intel server. Intel will not help me with the problem, I can not get past the call center in India, they keep promising to call me back by a "senior techniian" but no call back.
Help please.

The Intel Anti-Theft technology isnt Toshiba feature
This additional technology is provided by Intel and it looks like the issue is related to Intel server connection.
By the way:
I found nice instruction created by Toshiba - Intel Anti-Theft Service User Guide
This manual explains how to take advantage of the built-in hardware features, software options, and service benefits of the Intel Anti-Theft Service

Your profile says you are using OS X Mountain Lion, so if that's true then you have all of Apple's anti-virus protection and if Software Update says you are fully up-to-date on all your Security, Java, etc. updates, then you are fully protected against all currently known malware that can impact OS X and Apple apps.
Keep Java (not JavaScript) disabled in all your browsers unless you must visit a site that requires it, and turn it back off as soon as you are finished to make certain you aren't one of the first to discover the next Java threat that will most certainly show up one day soon.

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
