avast! Anti-Theft has discovered an incompatible SMS tool: Tracfone Device Manager. This tool occupies a very high SMS receiver priority which conflicts with avast! Anti-Theft and will prevent avast! Anti-Theft to work properly. Uninstall the tool or contact it’s developers to solve the problem.
Anti-Theft warns about these SMS tools because their high SMS receiver priority could result in incoming command sms beeing displayed in cleartext. In turn revealing your avast PIN.
try the following:
send a sms with
locate
to your phone. If the command is beeing executed without beeing displayed,
you can safely tell anti-theft to “ignore and never ask again” about this app.
Anti-Theft warned me about Pushbullet’s high SMS receiver priority.
The SMS commands I send to my device are being executed without being displayed on the phone, but they are displayed in Pushbullet’s notifications on my PC.
So, would it be safe to ignore the warning and keep both AT and Pushbullet?
