Who has tracking software on their laptop

[pornguy]

In the event its stolen. Who has what. Need something to track wipe and maybe take over all that sort of thing.

Anyone?

Thanks. Will take a look at that now.

I use one called Lookout for my tablet that is freaking great. For anyone that needs one.

the only issue here is it does not have a wipe feature that I see.

I have Lojack. I report it missing and the cops get involved.

Yeah I have heard people talk about that But I live outside the US and its not the same here. And I don't think lojack has a wipe feature either.

I will piggy back on the matter and also ask ...

Anyone recommend a local and remote "commercial/military grade" wiper?

why not just use truecrypt?

Treucrypt is nice but not what im looking for. not only want the data protection but also the chance at recovery/visiting punishment on the person that stole the thing.

anyone with half a brain will format a stolen computer so it all depends on how stupid the thief is

Thats the good thing for me. Even the "trained techs " have half a brain when it comes to puters around here.

What happens in case if thief wipes HDD or replace it with different one?

Then the owner is over all shit out of luck.

I have not found anything yet that can stop that but this idea was on one site.

This can be somewhat thwarted by going into your notebook's BIOS settings and disabling the option for the computer to boot from a USB device or network connection, and locking down access to the BIOS with a password. (I say "somewhat," because the thief could still physically remove the hard drive from your notebook, and access its contents by connecting it to another computer.)
