Overview

Comodo Anti Theft is an Android application designed to help users locate their lost or stolen devices. Unlike many other apps in this category, it doesn't require GPS activation and offers a variety of additional features for device protection and recovery.

Usability

To take advantage of Comodo Anti Theft, users need to install the app on two different devices. This allows access to the lost device from the secondary one. On the initial setup, users must specify which device they want to keep track of. If the device is powered on, its precise location will be marked on the map with only a small margin of error.

Features

Comodo Anti Theft offers four key functions to assist users in recovering their lost devices: Block, Alarm, Clear, and Take a Picture. The Block feature prevents unauthorized access to the device unless the account password is provided. The Alarm feature triggers a loud sound, helping users locate the device if it's within close proximity. The Clear feature allows users to restore the device to factory settings, ensuring personal information cannot be accessed. Lastly, the Take a Picture feature allows users to remotely snap a photo, potentially identifying the device's location or thief.

The app also provides a history of device connection times, aiding in tracking when the device was last active. This feature can be particularly helpful in locating the device on the map.

Unique Features

Unlike many other apps in this genre, Comodo Anti Theft can display a message on the device's screen. This feature could encourage a person who has found the device to return it if it was just misplaced rather than stolen.

Conclusion

Comodo Anti Theft stands out among the plethora of device protection tools. Its unique features, including the ability to operate without GPS activation and the option to display a message on the lost device's screen, make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking to safeguard their device from loss or theft.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • CALL_PHONE: Allows an application to initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS: Allows an application to see the number being dialed during an outgoing call with the option to redirect the call to a different number or abort the call altogether.
  • READ_CALENDAR: Allows an application to read the user's calendar data.
  • READ_CALL_LOG: Allows an application to read the user's call log.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • READ_SMS: Allows an application to read SMS messages.
  • RECEIVE_SMS: Allows an application to receive SMS messages.
  • SEND_SMS: Allows an application to send SMS messages.
  • WRITE_CALENDAR: Allows an application to write the user's calendar data.

  • WRITE_CONTACTS: Allows an application to write the user's contacts data.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to change network connectivity state.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.

  • READ_LOGS: Allows an application to read the low-level system log files.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.
  • android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_SMS
