Laptop / PC Tracking Software

**Software Installation**Once the software is installed, a small, hidden tracking program is activated. This program runs in the background and should not affect your computing. This program should completely run in stealth, and not be viewable to the user of the computer in any [url removed, login to view] software should communicate with a central server location. The communication can occur in a variety of ways depending on the software being used. Usually it is dependent on the laptop being connected to the internet. One possibility is that the internet the program occasionally sends it's location to a monitoring server. Another method is that it provides location information only when you report it stolen and a recovery effort is initiated. **If A Laptop Is Stolen**The recovery process starts with the administrator attempting to contact the missing computer. If it is found connected to the internet, the company will attempt to work with law enforcement to recover the laptop. The software must also have a way of extracting as much physical information about a particular ip address as possible. Such as, Internet provider, Address, Location, etc……

**These are some of our most important questions**:

[url removed, login to view] will this software be hidden from the user.

[url removed, login to view] will the “client?? communicate with the server.

[url removed, login to view] will someone report a computer missing, and what will happen when someone does this. Will the server continuously try to communicate with the pc, and how will it report to the administrator when it is able to communicate with it.

[url removed, login to view] information will be provided about the location etc if the server is able to communicate with the “client??

[url removed, login to view] the hard drive is formatted, will the “client?? be destroyed?

An example of an ideal solution can be found at [[url removed, login to view]][1] It is CompuTrace by Absolute Software.
