Locate your Laptop Using Locate Laptop
If you are the sort of person who tend to misplace things wherever you go or tend to lose stuffs like laptops, then Locate Laptop is just for you. It is the latest software which was launched in India to recover the stolen laptops.
This works just like the tracker for the mobile phone which will inform the owner of the phone when the guy who stole it tries to put up a new SIM card by sending the mobile number and location of the person who stole it.
Likewise Locate Laptop works similarly but with a slight difference. To make Locate Laptop work on your laptop, you need to install the Locate Laptop software which is available on their website locatelaptop.com. After installing the software it resides in your laptop in the stealth mode and will track all your web usage. If you laptop is stolen then you will need to inform them and they will activate the WebSniff technology of Locate Laptop. So, as soon as the person connects to the internet using your laptop, the city and IP address of the user will be sent to the owner of the laptop. Hence with the help of the law enforcers on that particular city, you can pin down the person who is using your laptop. The main drawback of this software is that it can be retrieved only if the user connects to the web, if not it is not at all possible to retrieve it. Another drawback is that it is being sold at INR 3000 at this moment, which is a bit higher priced. The laptop manufacturers should try and build similar software on their own and should giveaway it as free along with the laptop that they sell to benefit the end-users, I guess this will happen sooner than later.
