avast! Anti-Theft isn't hidden anymore after update.
« on: December 18, 2011, 03:43:40 PM »
avast! has been updated to build 1123, then it advised me to update Anti-Theft to build 1900.
The update was successful, but when i've tried to enter into Anti-Theft settings, i've got a message that the app isn't installed. I've rebooted my phone. Now i can enter into Anti-Theft settings, but,firstly, i see avast! Anti-Theft application in the apps list and,secondly,i can kill the app through the list of running programs(LOCK message does nothing).

Using CyanogenMod 7.1.0, LG P500.

The problem was reproduced with the similar P500.

hi this happens if you leave the anti theft program through pressing the HOME key which does not shut down the UI. Use the BACK key this should close the process properly.

Just discovered that "Enable Anti-Theft" option wasn't checked.
Maybe an issue with update from older versions?The option was checked in the previous version, don't remember the build number?
And what about 'Anti-Theft isn't installed' message after update?Something is really wrong...It should ask for reboot at least...

Already reported that.. After updating anti theft is not activated by default! A big security issue in my opinion

once you update Anti-Theft it actively tells you that Anti-Theft has to be disabled for the upgrade. You'll have to enable after the upgrade again.

But i can't enable it, because it says that Anti-Theft isn't installed ;)
And i can access settings only after reboot. Maybe i'm wrong, but AFAIR i didn't get any suggestion to reboot phone.

actually there IS a suggestion :-) its a dialog box saying:

"avast! Anti-Theft will now update. This will CLOSE THE PROGRAM. The phone must be restarted after the update."
