EVERGREEN, CO -- 05/28/08 --
Front Door Software has released a new
feature for its Retriever laptop security product that "Locks Your
Laptop's Front Door." If a laptop is lost or stolen, Retriever customers
can now log onto the internet and track their computers using Google Maps
if it goes on-line.
"The Google Map Tracking feature is new. We are offering this feature free
of charge to the first 25,000 customers who install the program. After
that, we plan on charging for the Google tracking capability," exclaims
Carrie Hafeman, CEO of Front Door Software Corp.
Anyone can go to www.frontdoorsoftware.com and install the program in less
than 5 minutes. Once the customer has successfully installed the
Retriever, they receive an email, informing them that their new Google
Tracking feature has been enabled.
Current FBI statistics show a laptop is stolen every 12 seconds, and once
gone there is only a 3% chance of recovery.
If a laptop is lost or stolen, the Retriever can help the owner try to
blast a message to the laptop that states THIS COMPUTER IS REPORTED STOLEN,
lock it down with a 1-50 character lockdown code, send a personal message
to the thief, and get a Google Map of where the laptop is communicating
from.
The company has registered thousands of new users from universities,
school districts, government organizations, and corporations from around
the world. However, there are also customers simply interested in
protecting their personal information.
The first installation is free. A second computer can be protected for
$19.95. Prices drop to only $7.95 each for 500 or more, and universities
and school districts can protect all of their laptops and PCs with a site
license of only $10,000 per year.
Front Door Software also donates Retriever licenses to charities. The
Visiting Nurse Service, Inc. in Indiana (www.vnsi.org) has received 211
free Retriever licenses this month. "Front Door is thrilled to be able to
help charities. That last thing charities need to use their funds for is to
replace stolen laptops," adds Hafeman. "By providing the Retriever security
product, we can help offer peace of mind and reassurance that people's
laptops, information and identity are better protected."
