How to prepare your PC or laptop for theft

Today I was searching for some software which can track my lost laptop. There, I found a software for Windows XP and Vista which provides the following features:

  • Geo-location is determined by wi-fi signal
  • Remotely delete files from the stolen laptop
  • Remotely retrieve files from the stolen laptop
  • Monitor and control everything the thief does
  • Lock down the stolen laptop if desired

Can somebody please help me to know, how one can automatically enable remote connection to the laptop and retrieve or delete files, monitor the thief (i.e. set webcam on automatically) and lock the system?

Something like logmein.com

Seems silly but, it will automatically connect when it has access to the internet, you can set it to send out no notification of connection, and it means if the thief leaves it on to download something you can activate gps, web cam etc

There are commercial packages. I have read many good things about this one. I believe Dell offers something like this as an option.

I guess a great deal depends on what value you place on the hardware and data
