Description
McAfee WaveSecure Uninstall Protection Add-on (UPA) provides additional security and locks your phone when it detects that McAfee WaveSecure is removed. If you uninstall UPA, McAfee WaveSecure will lock the phone to secure it too.
IMPORTANT: McAfee WaveSecure UPA does not work by itself and must be used in conjunction with McAfee WaveSecure. You need to install McAfee WaveSecure first.
If you have an Android 2.2 (Froyo) or newer device, there is no need to install this add-on. You can assign WaveSecure as a device administrator to prevent the app from being uninstalled.

False Advertising It states that you can switch your subscription from one phone to another but BEWARE! If you go from Android to iPhone, you cannot transfer your service and all they will tell you to do is buy ANOTHER subscription. They refuse to give you a refund for the service you've already paid for and cannot use on your new phone. Aside from that, I was also having issues backing up my media and was only able to back up a few of my pictures/videos.

Epic Failure - DO NOT GIVE McAFEE YOUR MONEY From McAfee: "We would like to inform you that the free lifetime subscription of WaveSecure was valid only for the Android phone on which WaveSecure was activated before the 31st March 2010. This lifetime account is valid till the lifetime of the activated phone and this subscription does not allow users to change their phones. However, if they change their phone and wish to continue using WaveSecure with their new phone as well, they have to purchase subscription of WaveSecure. " FYI, this is my 3rd phone using this subscription. When I switched last time, Tech Support had no issue with moving the subscription. Uninstalled
