Computrace®

Allows you to activate or disable the BIOS module interface of

 

the optional Computrace® Service from Absolute® Software.

 

The Computrace agent from Absolute Software is a service

 

solution designed to help track assets and provide recovery

 

services in the event the computer is lost or stolen. The

 

Computrace agent communicates with the Absolute Software

 

Monitoring Server at programmed intervals to provide the

 

tracking service. By activating the service, you consent to the

 

transmission of information from and to your computer and the

 

Absolute Software Monitoring Server. The Computrace service

 

is purchased as an option and the Monitoring Server will enable

 

its agent security module through an interface provided by

 

the BIOS.

 

Deactivate: the Computrace module interface is not active.

 

Disable: permanently block the Computrace module

 

 

interface.

 

Activate: permit the Computrace module interface.
