What I don't understand: I you're so concerned that someone steals your laptop, why do you then install tracking software instead of encrypting your harddrive?

If someone steals my laptop I wouldn't care about the cost of lost hardware. Instead I'd care more about my private data that now is in the hands of someone else.




I guess it depends on the person. I have more private data on Facebook than I have on my computer. The cost would be a big problem to me though, I can't afford to buy a new laptop every year.
