CheckOUT! – A Simple Laptop Alarm : PCs only

August 3rd, 2007 by Optimus

These days, almost every cafe / library and MacDonalds, you can see people with their laptops surfing or just working on them.

Sometimes we take our security for granted and forget how easy it is to steal our precious machines.
Imagine how much emails /bookmarks /music /videos /documents /pictures will be lost if it was really gone!

Well, instead of lugging around those laptop cable chains, you can try this free simple laptop alarm.

It activates the alarm on these 3 circumstances if your password is not keyed in;

  1. It is plugged out of the power supply
  2. Shutdown/Logged off and
  3. USB mouse pulled out.

While, it’s not foolproof and not stopping the theft from just running with it, at least it will give you a head start to begin the chase.
