anyone has any idea of laptop sercurity ?

I think I read somewhere before that there's this hidden software to detect when an unlawful person uses the laptop. This software will then log on to the net, when internet is available, and send messenge to the software company on where the laptop is connected from. -
try this method.. no one will want to open it...
just kidding...
apart from fitting a GPS locator on it, you gotta know where you put the thing and remember to bring it with you all the time

Yes, I have been using a security tracking software as part of a package for my laptops:
1. Security cable with lock: I tie it around the table legs in the library when I use my laptop, in case I need to go to the toilet etc...
2. A metal plate with identification number that is stuck to my laptop with a special industrial grade glue. It is supposed to take several tons of force to remove the plate and even if you do manage to remove it, it will leave an indelible mark on the laptop case with the message, "Stolen property". So it makes it impossible to sell.
There is also a red sticker that warns thieves that the equipment is being tracked and police identifiable
3. A tracking software installed on my laptop. Each time I connect up to the net, it checks in to the security company without the user knowing. So wherever you use the laptop, the security company's computer can track it. If the laptop is lost, you inform the company and they will locate the laptop the next time the thief connects up to the internet. The security company will give the location to the local police anywhere in the world to apprehend and recover the laptop. This system in the US comes with a guarantee: if they do not get your laptop back within a certain time, they will pay for a replacement.
4. An insurance policy for my laptop, which will pay if it is lost or stolen.
