Modern computer systems that are widely used by individual consumers as well as large corporations have a number of pre-installed software that is shipped by an OEM manufacturer or a regional reseller to promote certain services and products. It might be difficult for an ordinary user to understand all the risks of such “extra-packages” existing on the system. While most of these products can be permanently removed or disabled by the user or an IT administrator, some types of product are designed to remain on the system even after professional system cleanup or total disk drive replacement. One such type of software is anti-theft technologies that are widely used on modern laptops, i.e., Absolute Computrace. While the general idea behind anti-theft technology is good, improper implementation can render it useless as well as harmful, or even extremely dangerous. We believe that companies producing anti-theft technologies must consider the security of their products extremely seriously.
