NEW DELHI, INDIA: Unistal Systems Pvt. Ltd, providers of data care, data recovery, anti-virus and Internet security products, services and training today launched its new software product – 'Locate Laptop' powered by proprietary WebSniff technology.

Developed in-house by Unistal through research and development at its facilities over the years, 'Locate Laptop' can locate stolen/lost laptops leveraging on the World Wide Web.

It also helps organizations in tracking the employees' movement around the world.

"Laptop thefts and loss are on an incessant rise and have led to serious damages for professionals and corporate. According to credible industry sources, 97 per cent of stolen computers are never recovered and 57 per cent of corporate crimes are linked to them," said Alok Gupta, director, Unistal Systems.

He claimed that Locate Laptop not only tracks and recovers stolen computers, it also deters theft.

It keeps track of the whereabouts of each employee while traveling and the moment he logs in via the web, a report is generated with his complete details and is sent to a designated individual within the organization.

In the event of theft or loss, the same needs to be reported to Unistal's emergency response team or to its Personal Tracking and Monitoring Page.

This activates Locate Laptop's proprietary WebSniff technology and alerts as soon as the offender connects to the Internet.

The city and IP address are informed to the user. It keeps tracking all the locations whenever the offender connects to the Internet.

With the help of local law enforcement authorities users can retrieve their laptop. Locate Laptop is available at all Unistal's authorized channel partners at a price of Rs 3000 ($ 55) per license.

I had some doubts. If someone steals a laptop, first thing he will do is to format it. What measures have been taken, so that the above Locate Laptop software is not removed? Moreover, just an on the fly idea, but cant something be done to remove the necessity of an internet connection? Perhaps by using RFID as pointed by Sudhir. cheers, Sameer IIT Guwahati

Every laptop and high end mobile manufacturers must make it a standard feature. by placing unique identification keys in the chips which can be tracked after lodging a police complaint

Thanks to the web based Laptop recovery tech thru IP address. I was wondering if we can use active RFID technology for similar purpose.
