No. Although GPS is recommended it is not required in order for all the SecurityCoverage mobile apps to function properly. One advantage of enabling GPS is that it can potentially provide a greater level of accuracy when using the SecureIT anti-theft feature for locating a lost or stolen phone. If GPS is enabled it may have an impact on the devices battery life depending on the manufacturer’s specific implementation of the GPS feature. SecureIT, FileHopper, and Password Genie will continue to function normally if you choose to disable or leave GPS off.
The Application Audit tells you what each application is capable of doing on your device. It tells you if an application can access your private data, send messages, connect to the Internet or perform any other function that can sometimes pose risks to your security or incur additional charges.
Don’t panic! Simply press the red X next to each malicious app in the scan results. This will lead you to the option to uninstall that app permanently.
Device Administrator is an Android feature that gives SecureIT for mobile the permissions needed to perform certain tasks like Remote Lock and Remote Wipe. Without these privileges, Remote Lock would not work and Remote Wipe would not be able to completely remove your data.
The application needs to communicate with our servers in order to determine the security status of the applications it scans and of the web pages you are visiting. This method of scanning conserves the battery power of your device.
Internet access: used for cloud communication.
Read phone state and identity: used to detect if the device is connected to the Internet and to extract certain device information needed to create a unique ID when communicating to the cloud.
