How Computrace Works
The Computrace Software Agent is built into computers from the world"s leading computer manufacturers during the manufacturing process. Customers activate Computrace when they purchase a subscription to Absolute"s endpoint security solutions. When a computer protected by Computrace is reported stolen, the embedded Computrace agent sends a silent signal to Absolute"s Monitoring Center providing critical location information. Absolute then works with local law enforcement to recover the computer. If the missing computer cannot be recovered within 60 days, the Computrace customer may be eligible for a Recovery Guarantee of up to $1,000. The stealthy Computrace Software Agent can survive accidental or deliberate attempts at removal or disablement. With embedded support in the BIOS of a computer, the Computrace agent is capable of surviving operating system re-installations, as well as hard-drive reformats, replacements and re-imaging.
