Yeah this is a good company.
Who ever posted those 10 steps to steal a laptop really made me laugh.
Even if there is a transmitter you wont see an " antenna" sticking out from the motherboard.
With absolute software it installs the software to the BIOS of the unit.
Once your computer gets online. Your IP and other stuff gets sent to Absolute and it CAN be traced from there.
We created a scenerio here where I took a laptop home and I reported it stolen.
2 days later I get a fax from absolute with the
ISP
the IP address where it was tracked
and the address of where to find it.
Cant get any better than that!..
