Hi,
I installed a rooted version of anti-theft yesterday. I turned my phone off last night, Anti-theft kicked in on power on and now when I try to access settings the window opens and then closes immediately. I presume Anti-theft is the cause and tried to uninstall using Avast security app but it says Anti theft must not be set as device admin, but I can not get to settings to change this.
Also Avast anti virus has marked settings as Android:Rooter-CS PUP and recommends delete. I tried delete but this action was unsuccessful.
I have a new JIAYU S3 running Kit Kat 4.4.4.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Phone also has F-secure running on it.

UPDATE: I unchecked block settings in Anti-theft through Avast security and it stopped the problem. It appears that even though I entered the PIN on start up, Anti-theft still considered my phone stolen.
I have activated it again to see what happens.
Is it normal that anti virus finds settings Android:Rooter-CS PUP? should I ignore this or be concerned?
Thanks

Thanks

What is JIAYU S3? Did you set to block the settings in the antitheft before?
