Keeping You SafeĪbsolute’s CompuTrace persistence module comes preinstalled as part of system BIOS/UEFI in some Lenovo, HP, Dell, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, Acer, Dell, Samsung, and Asus machines. The Investigations and Recovery team provides evidence to local law enforcement to recover the protected device (make sure you filed a police report) and pursue criminal charges.

The service can be remotely commanded to phone home every 15 minutes, scan files, install additional 3rd-party vendor software such as a key logger, make screenshots, and geolocate the device via GPS data stream or WLAN triangulation. Once Absolute receives a theft or lost report, the protected device will silently switch to theft mode and accelerate Monitoring Center communication the next time it connects to the internet. However, note that there is no option to retrieve, back up, or encrypt files from a stolen laptop.
If your laptop is stolen or lost, you can log into your online account to remotely lock your device and delete sensitive files to avoid identity theft or corporate espionage. It also provides the additional services of an investigations and recovery team that partners with law enforcement agencies around the world to recover and return protected laptops to their owners. LoJack for Laptops is a proprietary laptop theft recovery software that grants remote access to lock, delete sensitive files from, and locate the stolen laptop. LoJack® for Laptops was called CompuTrace until 2005-that’s when Absolute Software licensed the name LoJack from the vehicle recovery service. According to the Computer Security Institute, corporations spend an estimated $5.4 billion annually with the average large company losing almost $3.9 million to laptop and mobile-device thefts, and another $4.5 million on the proprietary and confidential data stored in those machines.
Over 100 devices are lost or stolen every minute and more than 12,000 laptops disappear weekly from U.S. Much like the famous LoJack for cars, LoJack for Laptops does nothing until needed that is, when you report your laptop’s theft the company’s recovery experts start the recovery process.
