If the worst happens to your computer and it is stolen then usually there's no way to track
where it is or who has your computer. That's where LocatePC comes in.
LocatePC sends you a secret email message from your computer containing vital information
that can help you and law enforcement agencies track a stolen computer, and eventually return it to you.
Free Theft Recovery Software for your PC
LocatePC is free software, and runs unobtrusively on your computer, with no icons, popups or saved emails.
If your computer is stolen then the thief will not even know that LocatePC is running, and as soon as they
connect to the internet a
secret email is sent to you containing the details that you need to track
your hardware.
