How It Works

Patented Technology Keeps You Protected

You deserve the strongest protection available, and LoJack for Laptops puts our persistent, patented technology on your side.

When LoJack for Laptops is installed, a small piece of software, the Computer Trace® Agent, is embedded on your computer. It is very difficult to detect and resists deletion.
Once you activate your LoJack for Laptops subscription, the Agent starts contacting Absolute's Monitoring Center via the Internet at regular, frequent intervals.
Should you request a Lock or Delete procedure, the Agent receives and executes these commands and next time it contacts the Monitoring Center. If your laptop is stolen, the Theft Recovery Team can use the Agent to obtain forensic data used to guide local law enforcement in recovering it.

Our Persistent Technology

Our software refuses to give up easily - even laptops with wiped or removed hard drives can be recovered.
We partner with most computer manufacturers to embed our software directly on your computer.
Persistence pays - laptop with wiped drive is recovered.

Steps in a Successful Recovery

As the owner of a stolen laptop, contact police and file a theft report. Then, log in to the Absolute Customer Center and report your laptop as missing.
The Absolute Theft Recovery Team uses advanced forensic technology to locate the laptop and possibly identify who has it. They share this information with local law enforcement, who recover the computer.
The laptop is returned to you ASAP.
