Awesome application but its not free… you have to pay.. i did check and for time being its available for 7 days free trial. The application is developed in Finland.
Anti theft is free, Mobile security will not be free, which one you installed ?
It is a cool tool which free. This will run in the background. But when i closed it, it does not asked any passcode, so will it be easy to uninstall too ?
