Install a basic anti-theft tool on newer laptops
Authored by: pecosbill on Jul 10, '06 06:49:01PM

I would ONLY consider using one of these as a secondary system. If you have a cable attached, this would likely help catch someone fiddling with the security cable if you're around. So would a Defcon alarm, which is what I've owned since 2001. Defcon's motion sensor is VERY sensitive.

Keep in mind, another easy way to disable these programs is to close the lid unless they thought of that and can block the OS from sleeping (unlikely).
