VUWER (pronounced
like ÒviewerÓ) is an application designed to remotely track your Mac laptop
(or any other Apple computer) in the event that it is lost or stolen. If you can determine the location of
your missing laptop, and the name, address, or image of the person using it,
and provide this information to the police, then you may have a chance of
recovering your property. VUWER
is not foolproof, but it is reasonably secure, easy to implement, and costs
nothing but a little time and effort to set up. |
|
IMPORTANT: USE VUWER WITH EXTREME CAUTION! If your computer
is stolen, and VUWER enables you to discover the identity and location of the
thief, do not under ANY circumstances contact or confront him on your own! Leave that task to the police. Your only job should be to provide
them with the information they will need to arrest the thief and recover your
property. Regardless of what
happens, no computer is worth the risk of being assaulted (or worse) by a
panicked or angry criminal. |
