A Laptop Security That Does Not Make You Look Paranoid

Google Buzz

laptop_securityChaining up your laptop to a table in a coffee shop, library or other public place would be helpful to protect your laptop. However, if you do not want to carry a laptop cable and a lock, or if using a heavy duty cable in a public place makes you look paranoid, you can try free laptop alarm software.

You simply connect your laptop to a power outlet or fasten your laptop to a table by using a USB flash drive strap. The alarm software will emit a loud siren sound when your laptop is disconnected from the power outlet or removed from the table. For example, a thief snatched your laptop while you’re in a washroom.  (See photos how to use: www.lalarm.com/arm1, www.lalarm.com/arm2)

In addition to sounding an alarm, the software can send an alert to your mobile phone in case of theft danger and destroy data in case of laptop theft. Such feature could prevent your sensitive information and your identity from being stolen. The software “LAlarm” is free for personal use and is available at: www.lalarm.com/LaptopAlarm
