Checking out laptops for someone, and on one listing I came across this:

THERE IS NOW SOFTWARE THAT IS INSTALLED ON HARD DRIVES OF LAPTOPS, THAT AUTOMATICALLY SENDS AN EMAIL TO THE SECURITY COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MACHINES WHEREABOUTS IF STOLEN, THIS PROGRAMME THAT CANNOT BE FORMATTED FROM THE HARD DISK WILL SEND VITAL DATA INCLUDING THE PHONE NUMBER AND IP ADDRESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. THIS DATA WILL THEN BE FORWARDED TO THE LOCAL POLICE WHO WILL CONFISCATE THE GOODS AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY.

What kind of bulls*** is that? :huh:

PC PhoneHome™

In the event your computer is lost or stolen, you file a theft report with the local police and then notify BSI’s Command and Tracking Center, which will provide full tracking and recovery support.

When the stolen computer goes online, it will send a stealth message to the pre-determined e-mail address containing its exact location. Once this information is received, we provide full technical and recovery support.

Our recovery agents work with you, global ISPs and the investigating law enforcement agency to recover your stolen property.

Worldwide tracking and recovery. Highly tamper-proof. Easy to install. Can’t be removed by unauthorized parties.

Compatible with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP
