Software Licence Giveaway
Folks, I am pleased to announce my latest software license giveaway. 10 licenses have been donated to me, and I am going to distribute them to you, my readers, via a drawing…
Laptop theft is common and a constant threat. Thwart thieves with the free (for personal use) program – LAlarm – which emits a loud siren sound when a thief tries to steal your laptop. More importantly (IMHO) it can destroy selected data (and also retrieve it ¹) if the laptop is stolen — which is an important step in protecting your “identity”, and personal information.
LAlarm consists of five alarms and other security functions designed to protect laptops and sensitive data.
Highlights
- Theft Alarm – It prevents laptop theft by sounding an alarm when a thief tries to steal a laptop.
- Perimeter Alarm – It alerts when a laptop goes outside a perimeter.
- Data Destruction – It protects sensitive data by destroying the data if the laptop is stolen.
- Data Recovery – It can recover data from a stolen laptop. (Before destruction) ¹
- Mobile Phone Alert – It sends an alert to a mobile phone via email or SMS.
- Theft Response – you can tell your laptop what to do in advance if your laptop is in hands of a thief.
- Health Alarm- Alert the user for using a computer for an extended period of time in order to prevent computer-related injuries.
- More…
System requirements: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2 or SP3.
Turn An Old Thumb Drive Into An Anti-Theft Device
LAlarm also allows you to use a thumb drive as a “sensor” – as described in this tutorial, fasten a laptop to a table by using a USB flash drive strap. When a thief removes the laptop from the table, the flash drive will be disconnected from the laptop and then an alarm will go off.
A great use for that old 128 MB thumb drive sitting neglected in a drawer!
If you “go mobile” with your laptop, I highly recommend you take a look at LAlarm. To do so, click here.
[Note: not all the features are enabled by default, and some configuration is required (particularly for file recovery) to “best use” this tool. So be sure to look at the FAQ’s.]
¹ requires a Gmail account.
How To Enter To Win A License
LAlarm is free for personal use. The license allows for business use. If you would like to install LAlarm on a work laptop, or an employee’s laptop, you can enter my drawing – once only – by either:
* leaving a Comment (click on blue “Comments” below) and entering a valid e-mail address in the form field. Or…
* sending me an e-mail.
10 lucky winners will be selected by random drawing, and e-mailed the license “keys” and download links.
The folks at LAlarm get a big tip of my geek hat, and my thanks for making this giveaway possible.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
