Locate laptop is simple to install. Once installed, it immediately connects to
its server and asks you to register yourself on its website. Here, it also asks

for the brand name of the laptop, along with its serial number. After

registration it also asks you, if you want to encrypt any specific folders.

Once the setup is completed, you can login to its Web portal and view the

laptop statistics, i.e. date it was connected to Internet and the IP address.

One advantage here is that, this solution also shows country, region, city, ISP

name, organization name the ISP belongs to as well as the longitude and

latitude.

You can report about the theft from its web portal and provide details such

as date and time when the laptop was stolen. Besides, you can also provide other

details like city, state and country from where the laptop was stolen along with

a copy of FIR.

During installation itself, locatePC asks you to configure its password. After
installation, first thing you need to do is to configure its email. It allows

users to choose whether email should be sent to owner, whenever the IP address

changes or every day etc. Unlike other solutions, it comes with a console which

remains hidden when themachine boots, but can be accessed by pressing

Alt+Shift+home. Unlike other solutions, you don't have to register on its

portal, to make the solution work. However, one disadvantage is that you are

only relying on the agent to email you, as it won't be calling its server to

give its current IP address. If you are looking for a free tracking solution,

then LocatePC is a good choice.
