Bitdefender Anti-Theft

Bitdefender Anti-Theft is a software solution that gives you the possibility to monitor your mobile devices, in order to locate and lock it in case they gets lost or stolen. You can also wipe all data remotely so that it doesn't fall in the hands of other people.

Following a speedy setup operation that shouldn't give you any trouble, Bitdefender Anti-Theft gets integrated into the system tray. It's necessary to sign up for a free account with a username and password in order to activate the application, as well as to specify a display name for the current device.

It's possible to install the lightweight utility on as many devices as you want since data is stored to the cloud and you can access it from a web-based control panel. Even if the program isn't installed on the computer, you can still reach the control panel in any web browser on Bitdefender's website using your user account.

This panel has a clean appearance and intuitive layout, where you can view the display names of all your devices in a tree view on the left side of the screen and track their location in a world map. As far as client settings are concerned, you can change the display name and apply a proxy configuration for connecting to the Internet.

Locking the device requires a passcode that can be created and confirmed on the spot. As for data wiping, you just have to confirm the action. Any device can be removed from the control panel, and the tool can be installed on other devices by sending the installation link.

The program had minimal impact on the computer's performance in our tests and promptly reacted to commands. We haven't come across any compatibility issues with Windows 10.

All aspects considered, Bitdefender Anti-Theft provides you with a simple and efficient way of tracking down your lost or stolen mobile device, locking it from a distance or securely wiping all data to make sure that no one can view and use it for malicious intent.

However, it doesn't have more configuration settings and hasn't been updated for a while. It also comes bundled with Bitdefender Total Security Multi-Device.
