“There are a few things that laptop owners can do to prevent laptop theft. Probably the most important one is to keep an eye on the laptop all the time”. Talk about stating the obvious lol.

Sandy, in the UK sadly it’s quite likely. There aren’t *too* many open connections and where they exist they often require you to enter an email address of click on a terms and conditions box before you can get to the internet. Prey won’t be able to do this.

Still – it is better than nothing! :)

Yes, but part of Prey is that it automatically searches for an open connection. With all the hotspots around these days, what are the chances that it won’t find one?

That’s because the url SHOULD exist. Once you computer is stolen you delete and when Prey checks for the url and can’t find it, it assumes the computer is stolen lol. It thinks you’re the thief!

What people are forgetting is that this will need an internet connection to send the data anyway!

xdmv – perhaps the first thing *you* would do is format it. But as the article says, a lot of thieves will look through a laptop for information. You’d not believe the number of people who keep financial details on their computers – or have auto-logins to sites where they can purchase goods. Or confidential documents that could be ransomed. Ask any member of the UK government or military who’s had their laptop pinched in the last few years!

By the way… In case you find your computer that person won’t be the thief. Sadly…

Not working if a smart thief take your laptop. The very first thing I would do is to erase the hard disk or change it. I prefer small GPS unit (hidden, without any stupid stickers saying: “Protected by…”).

Great idea though I cannot get the software to stop taking photos of me and e-mailing me them! Even though the URL I give it doesn’t exist (I confirmed it gives a 404 HTTP status response) it just keeps sending e-mails saying it’s found the thief.
