How to remove Avast Anti-Theft on Android after factory reset?

Avast Mobile Apps Avast Anti-Theft for Android
1

Hello.

I want to sell my old phone and in order to remove everything from it I did a factory reset.
But after I’ve changed the SIM card, I got a notification on my other phone number that the SIM is changed, so the Anti-Theft is functional.

How to remove it from my old phone after the Factory reset? Please help.

Thank you.
Regards

  • Disable avast! Anti-theft as a device admin:
  • Open ‘Settings’ from All Apps screen in your Android phone.
  • Select the option ‘Applications’, then ‘Manage Applications’.
  • Select the option with disguise-name (custom application name) you chose for avast! Anti-Theft during the installation process.
  • On the next screen ‘Uninstall’ and then ‘OK’ to confirm uninstallation of disguised avast! Anti-Theft.

Thank you for your reply, but I can’t see the disguise-name either. I used to, even with the app2sd application. I even installed the application again, just to find it, but I can’t. Is there another way?

Which is your ROM?
Is the device rooted?

The device is not rooted and the rom is the factory made.

The phone is LG Optimus Me p350

easiest way is to install avast! Mobile Security and use Settings → Anti-Theft removal wizard to uninstall Anti-Theft.
