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

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.
