If you lose your laptop or it is stolen Pry can track a lot of information that will help you track it down and get it back. Because of the way Prey installs your thief won’t know it’s running and in order to uninstall it they’ll need an account password. Prey installs easily on our test computer and within 5 minutes of marking our test Windows 7 laptop as stolen Pry had delivered an eerily accurate location, list of active connections, IP addresses, nearby WiFi access points and a picture of the thief. If you need more you can purchase pro accounts which deliver from five to 500 devices for $5 to $399 a month, but many personal users will be able to secure their notebooks and gadgets for free. Prey is similar to services like Lojack for Laptops and Phoenix Failsafe except it’s completely free for up to three devices. Prey is a service and application which runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android and can help you track down and recover a lost or stolen laptop or cell phone through a variety of means. We just found a cool new app that takes a bit of the pain out of losing a laptop, or having one stolen, by helping you track the notebook down and annoying the thief. Losing a laptop can be a painful experience, especially with all of the information we keep on highly portable laptops these days.
