Recover your stolen Laptop Print E-mail
Thursday, 14 August 2008

Adeona is a free program created by some good folks at the University of Washington that will help you get your laptop back in the event it is stolen. Even better, unlike commercially available alternatives (ones you pay for) with Adeona your location is kep secret from everyone except those you wish to have access to it.

Adeona, when installed on your laptop, will send out random updates as to the I.P. address your computer is using to access the internet making it possible to track down the stolen machine if the thief accesses the internet with it (which of course he will).

Best of all, the data that is sent out is encrypted so only you can access it. The Mac version of the program even has a built-in utility to snap pictures of the bandit using the integrated webcam.

To use Adeona download the windows version here. Then install the program. After the install there will be a new file on your desktop called adeona-retrievecredentials.ost. You will need to save this file somewhere because it contains the data needed to decrypt the signal being sent adeona.jpgfrom Adeona from your machine. Without that file you will never be able to locate your computer. I just emailed the file to myself and saved the email.

Now the program will run all the time without any further effort from you. In the event your laptop is stolen head over here to learn how to find it's location.
