Free Anti-theft Laptop Recovery software for Windows
Free Anti-theft Laptop Recovery software
Anti-theft Laptop recovery applications are programs designed with the sole purpose of tracing your laptop’s location and retrieving it. Once installed, the software is capable of running in the background, unknown to the thief. The only caveat is, that the laptop has to be connected to the Internet before the location is traced.
LAlarm
LAlarm is free laptop alarm security software for Windows OS. The highlight of the program is its sound. It emits an audible sound/alarm sound when a thief tries to steal a laptop, helping you recover it easily. But how does the nifty application carries out this action. Well, LAlarm uses the USB port or power port of your laptop as a sensor to detect if your machine has been tampered.
Prey
Prey has been specially designed to trace devices that are rightfully yours – mobiles, laptops! The ingenious application is silent but deadly! I mean, although it silently sits in the background of your computer, it ably captures photographs of the thief taken from the laptop’s web camera as well as screen shots of websites surfed, when the thief is running your device. It then sends all the gathered evidence to your mailbox, depending on the reporting method you choose.

Adeona
Adeona is the first Open Source system for tracking the location of your lost or stolen laptop and is free to use. This anti-theft laptop recovery tool does not rely on a single third-party. It continually monitors the current location of the stolen laptop, gathering information (such as IP addresses and local network topology) and uses it to identify the device’s current location. The client then uses strong cryptographic mechanisms to not only encrypt the location data, but also ensure that the cipher-texts stored within OpenDHT are anonymous and un-linkable. No person apart from owner (or a person of the owner’s choosing) can use Adeona to track a laptop. This tool too does not seem to have been updated for some time now.
IPFetcher
IP Fetcher is a quick and easy to use program that fetches your IP address and displays it in the program. You can save the copied IP address in a text file or even print it. IPFetcher is completely free to download and use.
