Our district has installed software that traces stolen laptops, and has successfully proven itself.
You, too, can install similar software on your own laptops for FREE. You can also control it remotely once you realize that it's been stolen, as long as it's been connecting to the Internet. Best of all, you can delete or encrypt files and even track the location right down to the state, city, and street location!
Did I mention that the cost is zero, zip, zilch? I've tried it. It works!!! Go to http://www.thelaptoplock.com and learn more. You can register as many laptops as you want. For free. All you need is an email account.
Now: Couple that service with another FREE program that serves as a motion sensor and, if your laptop has a built-in web camera, will take a picture of the suspected thief, upload it to an FTP server of your choice, and record the IP address from which it connected to the Internet. Couple this information with that provided by LaptopLock, and you've got a powerful security suite that increases the chances of recovering your laptop and securing or even deleting sensitive data. The name of this additional program? Yaw-cam. Get it from http://www.yawcam.com.
Next: Where to get a free FTP server? Try http://www.drivehq.com/ftp. You can get 1 GB of free storage; more than enough for this setup.
Enjoy the feeling of added security!
