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.
