I've heard of software that can be installed on a pc so that if it is
stolen, the pc phones home via IP when dialed up or cable connected and in
theory you can recover your computer.
Can someone recommend one of these vendors?
Also, I'm assuming that since this is a software package, replacing the hard
drive or deleting the mbr through low level format will defeat this
protection. Are there any hardware solutions that will phone home via IP
when dialed up or cable connected that will secure a desktop pc from theft?
