Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device. Normally it is available free for download with one week trial. Lifetime license will cost you 2.99€. Inorder to celebrate 100,000 users, Cerberus has planned to giveaway the mobile security app for free till February 29 2012. License is associated to your Cerberus account, if you have multiple devices you can use all of them (up to 5) with the same account.

It has three ways to protect your device:

• Remote control through the website www.cerberusapp.com
• Remote control via text messages
• SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card

Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:

• Locate and track it
• Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode
• Wipe the internal memory and the SD card
• Hide Cerberus from the app drawer
• Lock the device with a code
• Record audio from the microphone
• Get a list of last calls sent and received
• Get information about network and operator the device is connected to
• And much more!

Cerberus automatically enables GPS if it is off when you try to localize your device (only on Android < 2.3.3) and you can protect it from unauthorized uninstalling – more info in the app configuration.
The app works even if the device does not have an internet connection thanks to remote control by sms messages. Also, the SIM Checker feature allows you to know the new number to send texts to, if the SIM card is changed. Texts received and sent for Cerberus remote control will not start any notification and will not appear in the Messages application.
Cerberus does not drain the battery because there is no background service running: it will activate only if there is a remote control request and will stop afterwards.

To receive your license,

• Visit the MarketPlace and download the app. Now register your account using the App.
• Now fill out this form and submit. The developers will take of the rest.
