FrontDoorSoftware Now Offers Free Laptop Recovery Software that Provides 10 Ways to Get a Stolen Laptop Back

EVERGREEN, CO, April 18, 2011 (Press-News.org) FrontDoorSoftware Corporation has announced that it will now provide its basic laptop loss prevention and recovery software free. This innovative software program is responsible for helping owners track down and recover lost and stolen laptops across the world, and was formerly sold for $29.95 for a 3-year licensing agreement.

"In this age of increasing probability for laptop theft, we felt it was important to provide this sound and reliable software as a complimentary service rather than a paid service," said President of FrontDoorSoftware Corporation, Carrie Hafeman. "Laptops are an expensive investment, especially when considering the valuable information people store on them. This software can provide laptop owners peace of mind knowing they have multiple options to track down a lost or stolen laptop, and increase their chances of success from 3% to more than 95%."

The program is free and installs in seconds. Once installed this recovery program will immediately give owners the following 10 powerful features designed to help track down and recover a laptop if it is lost or stolen:
1. Activate a digital ownership recovery screen that displays contact information on the boot-up screen. This provides a way for someone in possession of a lost laptop to contact the rightful owner quickly.
2. Activate a large red and yellow "Stolen Computer" message that appears on the boot-up screen notifying whoever is using the computer that it has been reported stolen and helping prevent an illegal resale of the computer.
3. Turn on an audible security alert message that plays once at boot-up to help prevent theft.
4. Send a lockdown code to the computer effectively freezing access to programs and protecting personal owner information.
5. Activate an audio message announcing to all within hearing distance that the laptop was stolen, essentially allowing the computer to sound its own distress signal and shout for help. Owners can even create their own custom message to yell at the thief.
6. Remotely update his or her contact recovery information on the digital owner recovery display allowing owners to make sure it is current if the laptop goes missing.
7. Send a message that appears on the boot-up screen and attempt to communicate in real time with whoever has the computer and negotiate its safe return
8. Each laptop registered is automatically entered into an international web-based recovery center that collects the unique machine address (MAC address), owner information and equipment information, providing a proof of ownership.
9. Print out your own visual security alert label to help prevent a theft before it happens.
10. Track the laptop using Wi-Fi Geo-Location capabilities and Google Maps.

"This software program is extremely helpful to anyone who uses a laptop computer and has confidential or personal information that they want to protect." said Hafeman. "It's especially useful for students on college campuses where theft is rampant, as well as business people or anyone who travels frequently with their laptops."

The free version includes all 10 tools for retrieving a lost or stolen laptop; however the geo-location tracking mechanism (#10) will expire after 90-days. New subscribers who sign up before June 1, 2011 can extend the geo-location tracking feature to six months by entering the promo code "DOUBLEIT" when they create their new customer account. All customers start with the basic free version and then can easily upgrade to the deluxe version that includes 3 years of geo-location tracking for $29.95, or less than $10 per year.
