No, it isn't some stupid, over hyped Hollywood flick. This is real life! With more and more people finding the joys and freedom of owning a Notebook computer, more and more notebooks are getting stolen every day. So how do we safeguard against this? Well, except for locking it up in your house, there really isn't any good way keeping it away from the hands of a thief. Let's just say for a sec that it does go missing. What do you do? Do you phone 911? Do you call security? Chances are, your notebook is long gone by the time you do that, in fact, the folks at Absolute Software are counting on that! Their Computrace Security Software is hidden deep inside your notebook and cannot be removed without the CD and a special key. So when the crooks think that wiping out the hard drive will do the trick, the first time the notebook surfaces on the Internet, the hidden software activates and silently calls the monitoring centre letting you know where it is.
