Hi
I have tried with a suggestion for making a Symantec product a
bit more user friendly and failed badly, so you have to get straight
back up and try again.
NAT is my subject with a suggestion.
I have not got it yet but from what i am reading using both a Windows
password and a the ability to lock the computer from the Norton Account
Anti-Theft website seems pretty dam good for security.
But i think one thing is missing and that is what if you go on a buisness
trip or a holiday and leave a laptop or netbook at home and of course the desktop
PC which will obviously not fit in the suit case or under the arm.
So they are all alone at home and vulnerable to any theif to steal.
OK so your windows password should protect the device, but what if you do not
use one. What if instead each time you logon to the computer you have a Norton
Anti-Theft login screen instead now that would be cool.
Because while you are sitting back in the sun relaxing the theif is trying to start and use
your computer with nobody even aware that the computer is missing, maybe for
days or weeks.
So what i am getting at is if Anti-Theft has a computer login screen maybe after so many
attempts to enter the password the computer locks and the lost devcie locating starts on the
Anti-Theft website and the owner of the computer could be sent a automatic SMS to
inform that the computer has been locked and is now being tracked.
Or i guess a automatic SMS could also be sent to the owner to notify them of the illegal
use of the NAT protected computer so the could activate the Lost Device command by
SMS or i guess the intended method of the web via a smartphone, tablet or PC.
I understand that the person may be on the other side of the world and may not be
able to do much physically, but they can contact a friend or the Police to inform them
of the issue and hopefully track down the thief with your NAT Locked computer.
Just a suggestion it might have already been raised but I searched and could not find
a similar suggestion.
Anyway I hope that helps a good product to get better.
Now I just have to wait to get my hands on it to use with my computers.
Cheers
This could possibly be used with Tablets as well as Smartphones???????
