zTrace Gold

zTrace Gold is an invisible, undetectable, and un-erasable software security application that traces the location of missing laptops for recovery. Every time a computer with the zTrace Gold software connects to the Internet, it performs a handshake with the zServer. If the computer is reported missing or stolen, the next time that handshake is performed, the handshake reports to the zTrace Recovery Team and Yale University Security the exact physical location of the missing computer. zTrace Gold operates in stealth mode, with no directories, tiles, icons, or sounds ever appearing on the laptop or its screen.

If your computer is stolen, simply notify the zTrace monitoring center via phone, e-mail, fax, or the Web. The zServer tracking system will instantly be activated, awaiting the next connection to the Internet. zTrace Gold technology is able to track the computer through any type of Internet connection the thief may opt to use, including dial-up, cable modem, DSL, T1, and wireless networks.
