Enable Anti-Theft
Personal devices are constantly at risk of being lost or stolen in our everyday travels from home to work or other public places. Anti-Theft is a feature that expands user-level security in the case of a lost or stolen device. Anti-Theft lets you monitor the device usage and track your missing device using localization by IP address in ESET HOME, helping you retrieve your device and protect personal data.
Using modern technologies such as geographical IP address lookup, web camera image capture, user account protection, and device monitoring, Anti-Theft may help you and a law enforcement organization locate your lost or stolen computer or device. In ESET HOME, you can see what activity takes place on your computer or device.
