Protect mode lets you assign a password to each app to ensure that no one can access your apps without consent. TrackOff also offers a Blackout Mode that allows you to lock your apps whenever you want. Avast tracker is powered by one of the biggest antivirus software producer Avast. It protects you online by hiding your IP address. One of the best features of Avast anti-tracking software is that it sends alerts to the users when they are being tracked.
This Anti-tracking software performs all the core functions to maintain your online privacy. It detects, blocks, and removes your browsing history. Since it deletes your browser history, therefore, no online tracker is able to track your online activities. Avast Anti-tracking software also protects you against email phishing attacks by filtering out spam messages from your inbox.
Freenet is another free anti-tracking peer to peer platform that allows you to anonymously communicate over the web. It also lets you publish things with no censorship and saves your data in an encrypted decentralized network to let you enjoy a smooth online experience.
Disconnect Browser is another free anti-tracking software that disconnects you from suspicious websites that secretly store your information. When users enable disconnect browser, it alerts them with a list of the websites that store and track browsing activities. Once closed, any thief would know it was being tracked and wipe the laptop and reinstall the OS. MyLaptopGPS offers a workaround of sorts. You can identify important files you don't want to lose and when you flag your laptop as stolen, MyLaptopGPS uploads those files to a location on the web, emails you a link, and then deletes them from the laptop.
Where other services use Wi-Fi positioning to get a more accurate location, the IP address registrant just gave us the city of the IP address - which wasn't even the city the laptop was in. Price: Free Info: www. LaptopLock is a free offering that eschews a fancy interface for a simple, no-frills look.
Signing up for the service is quick, you simply need to enter your email address and a password, and you're taken straight to the online control panel. From here you can add a computer, giving it a name for easy reference. From this page you can download the software. During installation you can choose whether or not to show a splash screen when the laptop starts up - it's nice that you're given the choice. There are no tracking features with this program, so ideally it should be installed alongside a free service that does, such as Prey.
What LaptopLock concentrates on is protecting your data if your laptop is lost or stolen; and is broken into three parts. The first is file security - here you can select the data you want LaptopLock to delete if you flag up your laptop as stolen via the web interface. Choosing the files and folders is very easy, and you can select to securely delete the data, so that data recovery tools can't access it.
If you're not too keen on the scorched earth policy, you can choose to encrypt the files instead. The second part is notifications. You can select to show a message or play a sound when the missing laptop is in use. The final part is that you can select a program to launch when the laptop is reported stolen - a good chance to run a tracking program, or activate your webcam and upload the photos it takes.
The laptop can also be marked as stolen, notifying a recovery team that will begin collecting evidence to hand over to the police. LaptopLock might appear simple, but with it you can make your own laptop security solution.

The laptop security and tracking software we're looking at in this group test claims to add an extra layer of security to your laptop should disaster strike. In worst-case scenarios they should allow you to remotely lock down your laptop and wipe sensitive data. However, in the best-case scenario, the software will allow you to track and retrieve your laptop and, if it's been stolen, provide evidence to the police for a conviction.
EXO5 has a small-to-medium business-orientated approach to laptop tracking, but that shouldn't put off home users - especially if you have a number of devices you want to keep track of. First of all you need to go to the Settings tab and download the Agent Installer, which is a standalone. Once done you can view the devices by clicking 'Assets'. When selecting an asset to track you'll be shown its location on Google Maps, using similar Wi-Fi triangulation technology as the other services we've tested here.
It was good, and got the right road, but was a few buildings out when some of its competitors were more accurate. The public IP address is also displayed, along with whether or not the device is connected to the internet. The software tab offers more illuminating details of what programs have been installed on the laptop while Event Log keeps you up to speed on what your laptop's being used for.
Most of these features are geared more towards an individual or company that wants to make sure that a laptop is being used for the right purposes. Of most use is the incredibly handy RemoteKill option.
