How to add or remove a device from Norton Anti-Theft?

Norton Anti-Theft is a specialized feature of Norton Mobile Security that lets you protect your device. With this dedicated security feature, you can track your device location and prevent it from thefts. With the help of an anti-theft agent, Anti-theft automatically captures the picture of the thief who is trying to unlock your device. It also sends current location of the device so that you can simply access your Norton account via Norton.com/setup and then check the same.

To add or remove a device to this feature, you have to follow a set of instructions. These are:
n  Add a device
1.       Visit anti-theft website
2.       Log in using your registered username and password
3.       Download and then install Norton Anti-Theft agent
4.       Enter the required details
5.       After the anti-theft agent gets installed, your device will get automatically added to the website
6.       Now, you can track your device location simply by logging in to the anti-theft website
7.       All you need is a compatible device and an uninterrupted network connection 

n  Remove a device
Please note that after removing a device from the Norton Anti-Theft website, you will not be able to track your mobile or device location. Also note that after removing the anti-theft agent from your mobile phone or device, you still need to manually uninstall the agent. The product key will remain activated. Previously stored data that is linked with that device will also get removed permanently. There will be no chance to recover it. Here are the simple instructions to remove the device:
1.       Go to the Norton Anti-Theft website and access your account
2.       Check My Devices tab and hit the name of the device you want to eradicate
3.       Now hit Remove Devices icon available right next to the device name
4.       Verify your action by clicking Delete
5.       Wait for a few seconds and it’s done!
