Seth Rosenblatt of cnet stopped by and talked with LoJack for Laptops at CES about stolen Laptop recovery and the unique recovery offerings that only LoJack for Laptops offers.
cnet also pointed out the dangers of trying to recover your stolen laptop personally .
“Consumer vigilantism and tech are now enabling consumers to be crime-fighters,” Mark Grace, Absolute’s VP of consumer business, said in an interview last week at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. “But having access to a Google Maps location does not mean that you’re prepared to go knocking on doors.”
Take, for instance, the case of a California man who police testified was tortured and killed for confronting the suspected thieves of his laptop and Playstation 3. Or that of a Texas woman shot multiple times over a suspected laptop theft. Or a Missouri college student who was shot when he refused to hand over his laptop to a thief.”
check out the entire story “LoJack (for Laptops) recovers your laptop, without risking your neck” to see more information about how LoJack for Laptops works and why it is important to have a recovery plan in the event your laptop is stolen.

Hi Paul,
You can remove the Notifier/Pop-ups from the ‘Uninstall a program’ list. This affects only the Notifier – not the actual LoJack for Laptops, which cannot be uninstalled unless done so from your account.
