Anti-theft- Mobile Security relationship.

Avast Mobile Apps Avast Anti-Theft for Android
1

Hello,
I am very happy about Anti-Theft, it is pretty much what I was looking for. However, I don´t really have a need for an antivirus software in my phone (which is memory limited), and I am afraid that Mobile Security is using resources that I would rather not use.
Can somebody tell me if there is a way to separate the antivirus and anti-theft sections of this program, in order to only use Anti-theft? Or a way to configure the anti-virus to pretty much stay dormant, not using any resources? Or maybe my worries are unfounded, and the antivirus is not really soaking up a significant amount of resources, and I should leave it alone, forgetting about it…

Thank you,
Regards,

Yes, that’s possible.
After installing AMS and AAT you can remove AMS and only use AAT.

OK, thank you for your answer.
Now, how can I access AAT after uninstalling AMS? I can only get to AAT through AMS.

Regards,

After uninstalling AMS, AAT works, but after a week, it “dissapears”, I can not control it via SMS/web, application is not running anymore. I am running a custom ROM and the last thing I can remember last week is flashing a new kernel only.

Any idea?
