Absolute LoJack Promotions And Discount Code

LoJack for Laptops (originally known as CompuTrace) is a proprietary laptop theft recovery software (laptop tracking software) with features including the abilities to remotely lock delete files from and locate the stolen laptop on a map. The persistent security features are built into the firmware of devices themselves. Additionally LoJack for Laptops provides additional services of an investigations and recovery team who partners with law enforcement agencies around the world to return protected laptops to their owners. Absolute Software licensed the name LoJack from the vehicle recovery service LoJack in 2005. Activated Computrace LoJack for Laptops periodically phones home to Absolute Software\'s server to both announce its location and to check to see if the machine has been reported stolen. Absolute Computrace persistence module is preinstalled into many BIOS images by most laptop vendors. Analysis of Computrace by Kaspersky Lab shows that in rare cases the software was preactivated without user authorization. The software agent behaves like rootkit (bootkit) reinstalling a small installer agent into the Windows OS at boot time. This installer later downloads the full agent from Absolute servers via the internet. This installer (small agent) is vulnerable to certain local attacks and attacks from hackers who can control network communications of the victim.LoJack for Laptops (originally known as CompuTrace) is a proprietary laptop theft recovery software (laptop tracking software) with features including the abilities to remotely lock delete files from and locate the stolen laptop on a map.
