So who here has LoJack and how do you like it? Click to expand... Never used it, but I heard it's on by default. (ie, they lie to you saying it is only on after first use) There is a way to disable too. They won't tell you that. You disable the service, delete it's files, then create new files with the same name in their place and make them read-only to the system. Upon reboot when the bios tries to write them back, it will fail because it can't overwrite the read-only files that already have their name. PC Manufactures should be required by law to tell people their laptop has tracking software install on it.
