Sending SMS commands from Kaspersky Internet Security

If your device has been lost or stolen, you can remotely launch Anti-Theft or Privacy Protection functions on the device. To do so, send special commands to your device either via the Web Management or via SMS.

You can send a standard SMS message with a special code from another mobile device. If Kaspersky Internet Security is installed on the other device, you can send an SMS command from the app. To send an SMS command, you need to know the secret code to Kaspersky Internet Security on your device.

Outgoing SMS commands are billed according to the price plan of the other mobile device.

To remotely launch Anti-Theft and Privacy Protection functions from a device with Kaspersky Internet Security installed:

  1. Open Kaspersky Internet Security on the other device.
  2. On the quick launch panel in the main window of Kaspersky Internet Security, tap Settings > Anti-Theft.
  3. Enter the secret code.
  4. If you forget the secret code, you can recover it.
  5. Tap Sending SMS commands.
  6. Tap Send SMS command, form the command and send it to your device. When creating the SMS command, use the secret code to Kaspersky Internet Security installed on your device.

You will receive a command execution report in the return SMS message.
