nTracker keeps tabs on laptops

Filed under: Security

It's not just data security that's a worry when a laptop is stolen. SyNET's nTracker Anti-Theft, upgraded to version 2.2 recently, helps with recovering the laptop.

A SyNET spokeswoman said more than 1,000,000 laptops reported lost or stolen each year on average, and 97 per cent are never recovered.

nTracker Anti-Theft 2.2 secretly e-mails its location to the owner, in under a minute of going online whenever the laptop (or any PC) has an IP address change, the spokewoman said.

"There are no 3rd party monitoring centers or monthly subscription fees," she said.

It's not found in Windows' add/remove funtion, or detected by antivirus or firewall programs, she said.

The company intends to deliver similar protection in coming months for cell phones and PDAs such as RIM's BlackBerry.

The nTracker Anti-Theft 2.2 software is $29.95 and available at CompUSA, Staples, Office Depot and Circuit City.
