I have 2 phones w/ Av anti theft. I sent lock mssges to both phones to test effectveness. This was in Saudi Arabia. nothing happened but I did get sms mssges from both related to Av anti theft.
Now I’ m in dubai and 1 phone is locked & sounds alarm every time I switch on. I try to unlock it w/ other phone but I get mssge says “Av mobile security isn’t responding. do u want to close it?”
the phone also gives mssge that Av causes phone 2 run slowly.
Should I dump all Av software except anti theft to recover locked phone?
to clarify, i go open anti theft and open sms mssges interface. I enter code & press send sms button & software freezes up. nothing. Now i have 1 functioning phone.
