Re: computrace security by absoulte

Hi and we,come to TSF

Computrace is a company that tracks the signal of your laptop incase of someone stealing it. You have the choice to enable it if you want but you must pay for the service. If you disable it you will never have the chance to enable it again, it will lock when you disable it. Right now it is working but it is deactivated. You still have the choice to leave it. You get the choice in the BIOS alot in Dell Laptops. I have it in my Inspiron 6000. Also you should not really mess with the BIOS unless you know what you are doing
