MONDAY, April 14, (News Locale) - Finding lost laptops could now be easier than ever before after Internet security firm, Micro Technologies announced the development of a new software that will be able to track down stolen laptops using the help of the Internet. 

To be known as Micro LNTS (Lost Notebook Tracking System), once installed on a hard drive, the software can easily locate a laptop whenever it is connected to the Internet. Micro claimed that not only does the software helps in locating stolen notebooks, it can also be posed as a deterrence to prevent thefts.

The chairman and managing director of Micro Technologies, Dr P Sekhar revealed that the LNTS is a perfect weapon for laptop users to prevent theft and also for parents to monitor the online activities of their children.

When installed on the hard drive, the LNTS software will operate in a stealth mode whenever the system is switched on. If the laptop is stolen, then the user can activate the software which will then connect to the monitoring centre through which the user can track down the location from where the laptop has been used.

Other features offered by LNTS includes data wise storage of files, displaying the list of all installed software on the hard drive, hiding sensitive documents on the system and the ability to send regular emails.

However LNTS continues to struggle with the problem faced by a number of tracking software available on the market. Should the thief decide to format the hard drive before connecting it to the Internet, then the software will be deleted and will not be able to track down the stolen notebook.

The MicroLNTS will be available in three different versions, with the Elite and Premium versions for individual users and the Micro LNTS-Corporate for businesses. The Elite version costs at Rs 600 per year while the Premium version is priced at Rs 1500 annually.

Its very easy to break such kind security help. I dont think this s/w will help in anyways. The theif just needs a bootable windows cd. He can format the whole laptop hard disk in few minutes make all the tracking systems go out of nothing. 
The manufacturers need to make programs like DOS which still remains available even after we format the system.

i am agree with amit, as i belive this problem can't be resolve with installing a s/w in the laptop, this can be only prevented when a mini hardware will be placed inside the MotherBoard of the system.
