Which liars and thieves do you want to trust, the ones at Absolute or the ones in the street?Īnswer: Neither. If a hacker knows what he's doing, he can actually USE their spyware to steal any information he wants off your computer, probably without you even being aware of it. Those things are only what the company ADMITS to on its own website. government security standards, and God knows what else. It can physically locate the comp by triangulation, monitor all your activities, erase all or part of your hard disk to U.S. This firmware/hardware trojan can do a HELL of a lot of things you don't want anyone but yourself to be able to do (that is, if you have any common sense and knowledge of human nature). How much is the word of a thief and liar worth, hey? The only assurance you have that they won't access your computer without your permission is their own word. They may actually deactivate it, but if they can, then they can also reactivate it - or maybe some hacker can. They just want to get you off their back. So obviously they're lying when they say they can. They can't uninstall anything unless they come to your house and do it manually. That's criminal deception.Ģ) This stuff is installed in BIOS, and maybe even in the motherboard. Even if you weren't paying for it, they are giving you something dangerous to your right to privacy, and without your consent, or even knowledge. And you were never informed it was there, so they MADE you buy it without your consent. Obviously the cost gets passed onto the consumer who buys the laptop. Computer manufacturers pay them for this "enhancement" - or at least somebody does. I personally caught it talking to them.ĭON'T BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY SAY THEY HAVE DEACTIVATED IT.ġ) They've already stolen from you. I googled it, and that's how I know what it is.ĭON'T BELIEVE THEM IF THEY SAY IT "LIES DORMANT" UNTIL ACTIVATED WITH A SUBSCRIPTION.
Yet my firewall one fine day warned me that rpcnet.exe was trying to access the net. I've never even been invited to subscribe. I didn't even know I had their damned spyware installed in my BIOS (or in whatever other piece of hardware it is). I have a new laptop, and never paid for a subscription.
