i'd like to know how you'd rate the 'theft recovery software' products/companies. laptop is stolen, they all track by sending a signal to the company and they trace, you get the laptop back, but NONE prevent the thief from getting all your vital information...what's the point? the only one i have seen that tracks AND automatically encrypts all your info. and i think locks the thief out completely, is 'The CyberAngel' company. would like to know your opinions on that product and any others you think are as good or better. thanks, ksplitt
