If you lose your device, you can send an SMS text message to your device to lock it remotely.

• After the device is locked, it can be unlocked only with the screen unlock pattern.

Note: To use the remote lock, keep the screen unlock pattern of your device turned on.

You can wipe the data in the device remotely with the remote wipe.

Browsing Protection

Topics:

Using the Internet safely

This chapter explains how Browsing Protection works and how you can set it up.

Browsing protection helps you evaluate the safety of web sites you visit and prevents you from accessing harmful web sites unintentionally.

The product checks the safety of a web site over the air automatically when you access the site. If the site is rated as suspicious or harmful, the product blocks the access to the site. The safety rating of a web site is based on information from several sources, such as F-Secure malware analysts and F-Secure partners.

Changing the Browsing protection settings

You can select when the Browsing protection is turned on based on the operator network that you are using.

To change the product settings:

1. In the main view, select Settings.
2. Turn on Browsing protection to keep the application running on the background while you browse the Internet.

3. Select when the Browsing protection is in use:

4. All operators - the product checks the safety of visited web sites regardless of the operator network that you use.

5. My operator only - the product checks the safety of visited web sites only when you are using your own operator network.

The product takes the new settings into use immediately.

Automatic updates

Topics:

• Manual updates

After you activate the product, automatic updates is turned on. Automatic updates require an active Internet connection. When a connection to the Internet is available, the product checks for updates regularly and downloads new updates if necessary.
