    "Works good, but takes some time. Be Patient."

    September 2, 2012  |   By mechfrancis

    Pros

    Works. IN free mode you can configure the settings to play an alarm siren, lock the computer, even wipe passwords and browser history.

    Cons

    Takes a minimum of 10 minutes to get a report of where the device is. Testing it now and still waiting for the report. The first test did get the alarm to activate after about 5 minutes or so and the screen to lock. Second test is still waiting.

    Summary

    This program does take time to do it's thing. In the report it showed a location with a Google map where it is. It was accurate for me. It took a screenshot of what I was looking at also. The report also showed every wireless connection the computer sees, how long the computer has been "awake" and some other "geek" stuff. Even though it takes time to get the report and location information, I think this will be a good addition to my programs.
