Computrace embedded support in bios

Absolute has partnered with leading computer manufacturers, such as Dell, Fujitsu, Gamma Tech, Gateway, GD Itronix, HP, Lenovo, Motion Computing, Panasonic and Toshiba to add an extra level of security, persistence and support for the Computrace agent. The Computrace BIOS support module is shipped disabled and turned off from the manufacturer. Once the customer installs the Computrace Agent, pays for the Absolute Tracking and Recovery service and activates the Computrace BIOS support module, then the extra level of security and firmware persistence will be activated.

Embedding support for the Computrace agent into the BIOS provides customers the highest level of persistence and allows the Computrace agent to survive operating system re-installations, hard drive reformats and even hard drive replacements. The ability to withstand these changes is critical in order to survive unauthorized removal attempts as well as to work seamlessly with customers' break/fix and IMAC processes. The Computrace BIOS support placement provides our customers the best performing computer theft recovery, secure asset tracking and data protection services available on the market today.

The following is a list of the computer manufacturers, makes and models that provide Computrace embedded support in the BIOS. New lines of computers are added on a regular basis – if there is a particular computer make/model you are interested in, please be sure to ask an Absolute sales representative.

Laptop Takes World Tour, Calls Home Often
A laptop reported stolen from a student in New Jersey in October 2005, called in to Absolute’s Monitoring Center five days later from Hong Kong. Shortly thereafter, the laptop began calling in from England, then Dubai, then England again, and next from a hotel in Florida. When the laptop popped up in Massachusetts the next day, state police apprehended an astonished Hong Kong businessman who had bought the computer through an online auction service. A detective who helped crack the case sums it up: "I don't think I'd ever want you guys chasing me."

Stolen Laptops Flunk Student
Two laptops reported stolen from a university in Florida began calling from the same location. Detectives discovered the suspect was a student at the university – and was using the laptops to send out graduation invitations to his family and friends. When a detective knocked on the door and asked the student if he knew why he was there, he replied, matter-of-factly, that he’d stolen two laptops from school. Despite the student’s admirable - though belated – cooperation, the youth was charged with two counts of grand theft and will not be graduating.
