If a laptop is lost or stolen, Its very difficult to recover it. Imagine, if you have sensitive data like passwords, bank accounts, personal information etc. you lost them too. Its a big problem. So, Do you want to disable accessing your laptop if it is lost or stolen?

Lenovo has announced that it is going to introduce a Constant Secure Remote Disable service.

This service allows users to remotely disable a laptop by sending a text message. Users also receive a confirmation text message that validates the disabling of a laptop.

The user can send a text message called kill command from a specified cell phone number to shut down a laptop. To reactivate the disabled PC, a user needs to enter the pre-set passcode after the notebook is restarted.

The software used for this service will be available free from Lenovo’s Web site from the first half of 2009.

A lost or stolen laptop must have a working cellular data card and a paid data plan with a carrier for the remote disable service to work. Information via Yahoo tech news.
