Computrace Agent by Absolute Software
Absolute Software Adds Geolocation to LoJack for Laptops
Two new features were recently added at no charge:
- Geolocation – For day-to-day use (in non–theft scenarios), customers can keep track of their computer on an internet-based map. North American Premium version customers can track via Wi-Fi triangulation or GPS.* Standard version customers can track via IP address.
- Device Freeze – If a computer is suspected to be simply lost and not stolen, customers can freeze their computer and display a custom message for someone who finds it. In addition, an unauthorized user cannot access the content on the computer, keeping private information private in an effort to prevent identity theft.
