| How does PC PhoneHome™ work?
|
Every time you boot your computer
and have an Internet connection, PC PhoneHome™ sends a stealth e-mail
message containing its exact location to a pre-determined e-mail address set
by the user. In the event the computer is stolen, you file a theft report
with the local police and then notify Brigadoon Software’s Command and
Tracking Center, which will provide full tracking and recovery support. When
the stolen computer goes online, it will send a stealth message to the
pre-determined e-mail address containing its exact location. Once this
information is received, our recovery agents work with you and the
investigating law enforcement agency to recover the stolen property.
Worldwide tracking and recovery. Highly tamper-proof. Can’t be removed by
unauthorized parties |
| Does PC PhoneHome works for Laptops? |
PC PhoneHome protects both laptop and desktop computers |
| How do I know PC PhoneHome is really working? |
All you need to do is check the
Email address you entered as the "Recipient's Email ID" in the configuration
window during installation (takes a few minutes) to see if you received the
stealth Email message. If you have any doubts of proper installation, simply
contact the tech support at anytime. |
| Can't the thief simply reformat or remove this
PC PhoneHome soft? |
You cannot remove what you cannot
see. Also PC PhoneHome is highly tamper-proof and cannot be removed by
unauthorized parties and a thief cannot "format" your hard disk. The
uninstall process requires a special uninstall program that is created upon
demand for registered users that will only work on your computer. This
additional security measure was implemented to raise the protection bar and
insure PC PhoneHome cannot be removed by a thief. More

| Is this software full proof and sure to work? |
Of course if the stolen PC never
gets connected to the internet or if the thief is also a top notch computer
wiz (unlikely) it will make retrieval difficult. But if you paid a good
price for your laptop or desktop computer and if your computer files are important, it's a
good security addition. Also, if you find the thief
you should also be able to retrieve not only the computer, but all the stuff
the thief has stolen from your house or office. |
| Ok my laptop (or PC) got stolen, now what? |
