I am using the Norton 360 product. When certain tasks are performed, such as updating the protection file, I am sure Norton would be aware of the IP address of the system performing the update/task. So if a computer is reported stolen, and an automatic update is subsequently processed, then it would seem to be a very simple and efficient matter to provide the IP address of the offender to law enforcement.
Has anyone actually done this?
One thread I read said this information “might be” available through a court order. That seems rather silly. I mean if MY computer is updating MY software that I have purchased and registered via MY email I should be allowed to have it. What is the issue with that?

You should look at Norton Anti-Theft.
