Title: SMS control & wipe question
Post by: az4x4runner on March 23, 2013, 03:20:05 AM
Hello everybody,

New here and new to Avast for mobile devices. I have two questions...

1. The SMS remote commands, such as 'wipe', does anti theft only respond to these if the phone has been marked as lost or stollen? I would hate to think someone could text my pin and wipe at any time and the app would begin a data wipe. I have a full file system backup, but still don't care for the idea.

2. Wipe vs Thorough Wipe. I looked at the documentation and it seems regular wipe just clears the sdcard, and thorough does a factory reset if permissions are set correctly for the app. Is this correct? Just looking for a detailed description of both functions.

Thanks for any help!
