Anti-theft Programs Allow Laptop to be Tracked

by Austin Luna

So you just purchased a very nice, expensive laptop computer for your creative desktop. No corner was overlooked in terms of storage, processor speed and graphics capabilities. Now it's time to protect your investment in a way that is fairly new and very unknown by your average criminals.

Anti-theft software designed for installation on a laptop is out there and available for purchase from a few different companies. Search the internet for "anti-theft software for a laptop" to get started.

After grabbing the anti-theft software and installing it, a small, hidden tracking program is activated. This program runs in the background and should not affect your laptop speed. The software works when the laptop is connected to the internet. Most anti-theft programs send a file that includes the location of the laptop to a monitoring server or email address.

A few of the companies that make this awesome software are computrace and ztrace.
