jalaffa Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Prey lets you keep track of your phone or laptop at all times and will help you find it if it ever gets lost or stolen. It uses either the device's GPS or the nearest WiFi hotspots to triangulate and grab a fix on the location of your device. Prey even allows you to display a message which will show that the device is being tracked or you can completely lock down your system. It supports various popular operating systems including Windows, Mac and Android. Best of all Prey is lightweight, open source software, and free for anyone to use.

jvidal Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 If you ask me,this is pretty much useless. 1)it only works if the device is turned on 2)Any thief will probably wipe the hd before using/selling a stolen computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
