Miguel Guhlin has been having some conversations with Absolute Software about how Computrace works. He’s published some of those conversations, with CEO John Livingston and with Senior Manager Craig Clark, on his blog in these articles:

Miguel was genuinely interested in how the Computrace technology works, on which platforms and if it could be bypassed by creative thieves. Absolute Software appreciates the opportunity to address these concerns, and has been in contact with Miguel for some time now. In the latest conversation with Miguel, Craig Clark addresses the Computrace alternative, LocatePC, which can track your computer when lost (but which does not come with recovery service).

“Only Absolute Software maintains a licensed investigative team whose sole purpose is to investigate computer thefts, gather evidence using Computrace and then complete the investigation by assisting local police with a search warrant or subpoena to search a home and physically recover a stolen computer…

So, while there are competing recovery services on the market, only Computrace is complemented by the physical investigation team required to successfully recover stolen computers on a consistent basis.”
