any1 tried Standalone method ?? all use the recommended method?

not try that yet. but heck, just use the easier method. its better and much simple.

SINCE THIS TOPIC COME OUT ...I THINK WHEN THE THIEF NOWADAYS SEE THIS TOPIC ...SURE THEY CHANGE THEIR STRATEGY OREDI...HAHA...
BUT I REALLY HATE THE THIEF!!!!
BCOZ LOST MY LAPTOP SINCE I JUST BOUGHT 1 MONTH!!!!!

ANYWAY THANKS TO TS FOR POSTING THIS THREAD...

well at least this software still give you chance to find it back.

its much better than not installing any backup at all rite?

Hehe, not all thief are smart
They would definitely like to rummage through your laptop 1st before attempting to reformat it.... which more or less give us a slight chance of getting our laptops back.

Just wondering, if we have pin-pointed the spot where the stolen laptop is... What should we do then? Call police? Are they even informed of this type of device (especially Malaysian police), later they consider as a prank Or just take broom and go hit the thief? hehe

Ofcourse reported to the police and take the photo of that dumb thief to the police station and hunt for him ! If our police really that useless then i'm speechless. Anyway, i think the post that warn the thief that the laptop is stolen is just useless. Whenever the thief see that message sure straight away turn off the laptop and run. Anyway, where is my personal answer? hehe

Agreed, the warning post is not particularly useful unless the culprit is one of your friends zzzz hehe~
The time taken to report to police may actually give a chance for the thief to escape T____T
What personal answer?

some thief wont sell the things that they stole so fast i guess?

We got his picture, we can blacklist him and also hunt him down and that depend on the police efficiency.

Anyone tested? Can it find the actual location?

read the 1st page. i had done a test

it it best if the laptop have a webcam installed which most lappy have nowadays..

if wifi turned off and the laptop is not connected to wired connection after stolen then this software cant do anything

gonna give it a try, it would be cool if we can actually get the position of our laptop by using sms

but that sound so impossible, for now.

even if this feature is available, most probably it only can be used in US but not Malaysia

google got this feature, last time i register for gmail, they sent me an activation code via sms

i think the same concept can be apply here too

i just tested it, and it work, but somehow it doesn't show my location and the webcam doesn't seems to be working, most probably is my webcam software

we should implement it to everyone here
but if those thief are among us and have the knowledge of this then

nice app....hope its work..

my webcam doesnt seems to work when i use it for the 1st time. i get a black image XD but starting from 2nd time, it's ok
like this, u win lor
