The anti-theft features which the app offers include CaptureCam, which helps in quietly clicking the image of the person who is holding the lost device of the user, which also emails the image to the user with the location as well. Also, details like S.O.S help in automatically saving last location before the device runs out of battery. Device lock stops misuse of device by remotely locking the same. Then there is wipe data which wipes the personal data to the factory default settings. Backup and restore data helps in saving contacts and messages on demand. While, on a schedule, track or locate helps in finding a device when it’s stolen or lost. Uninstall protection ensures protection that the McAfee security app cannot be deleted from the device.
