The provider of anti-theft software for mobile devices, GadgetTrak™, adds to their product line-up PC theft recovery solution. GadgetTrak now provides anti-theft solutions for both Mac® and PC laptops, as well as mobile phones and removable media devices such as iPods®, GPS devices, flash drives and more.

    GadgetTrak's solution utilizes privacy-safe tracking technology that does not rely on a monitoring center, or back-doors into the system, unlike traditional theft recovery software for PCs. The information collected is sent directly to the owner of the device, with no "man-in-the-middle" required to transmit or store the information.

    GadgetTrak Founder Ken Westin stated, "It has been the most requested solution by our customer base, but we wanted to make sure we had solution that would both protect the system in the event of theft, as well our customers' privacy. I don't think people realize just how invasive some of the existing PC solutions are, or what information is being collected and stored regarding their movements."

    In addition to respecting customers' privacy, GadgetTrak for Windows PC runs silently and is tamper proof, utilizing various tactics to evade detection. To uninstall the software requires an easy-to-use application, as well as administrator password. GadgetTrak has also been designed and tested in hostile network environments to ensure that location and network information is delivered in the event of a theft.
