Let us see how Norton Anti-Theft works:
The procedure is quite simple. If you have ever come across a mobile tracking service, then you will discover that Anti-Theft is not very different. You would be required to create an account with Norton and then install the desktop client. Once installed leave the desktop client running. In case your laptop is solen, logging in to your Norton Anti-Theft web account will point out the stolen laptop’s location on a map, if it’s connected to the internet.
You are also able to remotely lock your system preventing access to your files. A picture of the thief could be taken from the webcam of the PC, with a handy “Sneak Peek” option. The web service is also capable of displaying a custom message on the system screen with the owners name, phone number and a reward for the finder or anything you think will help you in getting your laptop back.
