LoJack for LaptopsIn 2008, we announced that our commercial Computrace product would be complemented by geolocation tracking features. This month we are extending this feature, along with others, to consumers of our LoJack for Laptops product.

New and existing LoJack for Laptops subscribers will now have access to three new features:

  • 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. (currently for PC only, Mac coming soon) 
  • Self-Serve Remote Data Delete – To protect their personal information, customers can choose to delete a pre-set group of files or all files, including the OS, on the computer by simply logging into the Customer Center at www.lojackforlaptops.com/login.

LoJack for Laptops is currently 10% off with our back-to-school special. Check it out here!
