· After downloading avast! Anti-Theft, user can choose a custom name that disguises the app (e.g. call it "Pinocchio game") so that it is even harder for thieves to find and remove. Stealth Mode:
· Once anti-theft is enabled, the app icon is hidden in the app tray, leaving no audio or other trace on the target phone - the app is 'invisible', making it difficult for thieves to detect or remove. Self-Protection:
