Laptop Lock

[nojmit]

"It works like this: you install the software on your PC and register your PC at the LaptopLock website. If someone steals your PC you log into the LaptopLock site and flag the PC as stolen. When the thief turns on your PC the software checks with the LaptopLock site, notes that it is stolen and then either deletes your private data or encrypts it depending on how what you instructed during registration.

Connection details are also logged at the LaptopLock site to assist in recovery of your laptop. If the thief doesn't connect to the internet, the PC is locked up after a period of time and can only be unlocked using a password. It's a neat solution that addresses an increasingly common problem.

I wouldn't rely on this product for military grade protection but it should be adequate for most normal uses. Freeware, Windows 2000 and XP, 520KB "

Can LaptopLock be used on a desktop computer?
Sure.


Would you use the same method for a Desk Computer? Have had alot of breakins in our area lately. This would be great, might help catch a theif.

Thanks for the info. I've been using Lojack (http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/) and recently it expired. Haven't had the time to shop around yet, I do know that Lojack is too expensive, depends greatly on what the laptop is worth as well.
