Product Description:

MacPhoneHome™ is a stealth computer security program that tracks the location of your computer every time it makes an Internet connection. When you boot your computer and go online, MacPhoneHome™ sends a stealth e-mail message containing its exact location to a pre-determined e-mail address set by the customer. In the event the computer is stolen, the customer must make a report with the local police and then notify the MacPhoneHome Command and Tracking Center, which will provide full tracking and recovery support. When the stolen computer goes online it will send a stealth message to the pre-determined e-mail address containing its location. Once this information is received, recovery agents at MacPhoneHome will work with our customer, the local ISP and the investigating law enforcement agency to recover the stolen property. MacPhoneHome™ provides worldwide tracking and recovery ability.

I've used this Mac Phonehome for a few years now. I never had any problems with the product or free upgrades they supply. I had a question one time and had no problem getting an answer from their tech support. I think its a good product.

A while back I bought 25 licenses after we had a burglary at work and my laptops were stolen. The first disaster was during the update to Leopard - my Mac would hang during booting up. Turned out MacPhoneHome was the culprit. Brigadoon was silent on the problem for an awful long time before releasing a 10.5 compatible version. I now tried to install this new version on my new MacBook Pro but all I get is a "user name or password incorrect" - which they certainly are not. I contacted tech support and am still waiting for an answer that fixes the problem (I suspect the different endianess of Intel vs PowerPC machines is the root of the problem)
