        <description><![CDATA[1.  A proof-of-purchase and a system audit would go far to identifying the system and substantiating you as the true owner of the computer.2.  Our corporate laptops are locked down with BIOS passwords and encrypted hard drives.  That makes services like Prey useless.  It might be good for personal systems for which someone can't or chooses not to pay for a LoJack-like service.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In fact, I think I remember some kind of IP link locator service that could have pin pointed where the access point, ISP, and MAC address was, years ago. This was more sophisticated than trace route mapping technology.I've read about various solutions besides GPS that are more than likely acceptable in court as probable cause for search warrant. But the ubiquitous GPS tech definitely makes PREY obsolete.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Finding &quot;things that the others miss&quot; does not mean those things are actually malware, nor does it mean things that the others find are actually malware.I have submitted many files to different sites which run them through multiple malware detection programs and give grid results showing what each found, or did not find, and what they identified them as.See this response to one file I sent:http://virscan.org/report/e2d025fe0568f2451127fe6f54724d41.htmlI looked at the code and decided it was malware and deleted the file. But look at all the programs that didn't agree, some of them very prominent.The interesting thing is that this spread is not at all uncommon for many EXE programs, including ones I know for certain are not malware, but the results vary all over the place as to who considers which code malware or not, and what they identify it as.In other words, you could easily get results EXACTLY OPPOSITE to my example with another file submitted, and I have. And it didn't matter whether that submission was really malware or not.(Edited twice for spelling only. Too bad these computers make so many mistakes.)]]></description>
