A tale of woe i wish to share with you rotary members.
Whilst this post may sit with the computer /internet forum as an ex rotary chap i wish to mention to my rotary colleagues about a piece of fantastic software , not a plug as its freeware and easy to install, i`m aware most of you travel with laptops and this will give you piece of mind.
In May i bought a new Laptop, top spec with various geeky bits.
In June i went at short notice to a social function in london and said laptop was stolen, along with my phone and ipod.
I reported this as stolen with the city of london and replaced at much cost the items taken, however what i also had was a piece of freeware tracking software, once activated on the stolen laptop it starts at windows/mac bootup and in short "checks" to see if its reported stolen from the host, if it
is stolen then it takes a webcam picture of the person in possession of it and a desktop screenshot, it also grabs the IP address that it is using to connect to the internet (in short it tells you where it is)
After 6 weeks i lost hope until 2 days ago, the laptop "reported into me" its location and sent me pics at various intervals, in 2 days i established a name,address, facebook site, hotmail details including e-mail.
Amongst these were various porn site searches he was making and webcam shots of him "enjoying" them.
Details passed to the police almost instantly led to the return of it this evening
At last justice fights back!!!
i thouroughly recommend the software
Track down your stolen laptop – Prey
Download the software / install and voila its free!!
