Posted: Sat Feb 28, 2009 6:58 pm Post subject: Computrace: Lojack for Laptops

Has anyone heard of or used Computraces "Lojack for Laptops"?

Can it be installed on any laptop? I guess you'll have to re-flash your BIOS?

To help make sure that the Computrace Agent cannot be disabled by criminals, Absolute Software works with computer manufacturers to pre-install a portion of the agent in the BIOS. The BIOS-based Computrace Agent has the ability to survive operating system reinstallations, hard drive reformats, and hard drive replacements. Find out which computers come with Computrace built into the BIOS.

The BIOS-based agent will secretly re-install Computrace LoJack for Laptops on a stolen computer, so our Theft Recovery Team can track and recover the stolen computer even if the hard drive has been replaced or tampered with.
