GadgetTrak™ Launches Privacy-Safe Theft Recovery Software for Windows® PCs
Thursday, February 21, 2008

GadgetTrak’s anti-theft software product portfolio now includes Windows PC, Mac®, mobile phones and removable devices such as iPods®, GPS devices, and flash drives.

Portland, Oregon. - February 21, 2008 – GadgetTrak™, a leading provider of anti-theft software for Mac computers and mobile devices, announced today the market launch of its new Windows® PC version. According to computer industry analysts and the FBI one in ten new laptops will be stolen within 12 months. Like its other ant-theft applications, GadgetTrak protects PC systems from theft by utilizing powerful real-time tracking technology to provide location and recovery information. Unlike traditional PC tracking software, GadgetTrak’s privacy-safe tracking technology does not rely on costly 24-hour customer support, a physical monitoring center, or backdoors into the system. If stolen, the device itself “phones home” contacting the owner directly. This immediacy is critical for theft recovery.

GadgetTrak founder, Ken Westing comments that, “our new Windows PC version has been the most requested solution by our customer base. But before bringing it to market, we wanted to ensure that our solution would both protect the PC from theft and our owner’s privacy at all times. I don’t think people realize just how invasive existing PC anti-theft solutions are or what type of information is being collected and stored in these monitoring systems. Privacy was our number one concern”

Although its privacy-safe technology is one of its best features, GadgetTrak for Windows PC runs silently and is tamper proof, utilizing various tactics to evade detection. This prevents the thief from turning off or disabling the tracking technology. GadgetTrak has also been designed and tested in hostile network environments to ensure that location and network information is delivered in the event of a theft. The software provides an easy yet secure means for uninstalling the application if the owner passes ownership to another person, sells or gives away the computer.

Pricing for GadgetTrak for Windows PC starts at $39.95 with volume and educational discounts available. For more information regarding GadgetTrak for Windows PC, or GadgetTrak’s other anti-theft solutions visit www.GadgetTrak.com.
