Data care solutions provider, Unistal Systems, has announced the launch and availability of its new software product called "Locate Laptop".

As the name suggests, "Locate Laptop" powered by proprietary WebSniff technology can locate stolen laptops leveraging on the World Wide Web. "Locate Laptop" not only tracks and recovers stolen laptops, but also deters theft.

According to Alok Gupta, director of Unistal Systems, laptop thefts and loss are on an incessant rise, and have led to serious damages for professionals and corporates. About 97 percent of stolen PCs are never recovered, and 57 percent of corporate crimes are linked to them.

In case of corporates, "Locate Laptop" keeps track of the whereabouts of each employee while traveling, and the moment he logs in via the Web, a report is generated with his complete details and is sent to a designated individual within the organization. This is done without the knowledge of the employee, so as to maintain privacy.

Users have to just install "Locate Laptop" on their PCs. It resides and operates in stealth mode. In case of loss or theft, users may login to their Web-based Personal Tracking and Monitoring Page through www.locatelaptop.com to view and trace where the laptop has been accessed from.

"Locate Laptop" is available online at http://www.locatelaptop.com for a price of Rs 3,000 per license.

Read in HT as well. But what if the person who gets the laptop uses any other OS like Linux or just reinstalls windows before using it?

If I steal someone's laptop the first thing I'll do is remove the battery and reset the bios. The next thing would be to not just erase but wipe the hard drive.

The only use of this is for companies to snoop on their employees.
