"Get your hands off me. I have been stolen," the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft; a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.
The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the laptop: a red and yellow "lost or stolen" sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version of the software, users can also send a spoken message.
The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. " One customer sent a message saying, ’ You are being tracked. I am right at your door’," said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.
In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speaker will say, "Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.
The Retriever software package, which costs $29. 95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password prompt if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.
If a thief accesses the Internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the Internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.
Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, and with the use of laptops increasing, the number of stolen laptops while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.
One function of the program is that it allows the owners to________at a distance.
选项
A、change some access details for switching on the laptop
B、turn on the laptop by using the original password
C、operate the laptop by means of an alternative password
D、erase the information kept in the stolen laptop
答案
A
解析
根据倒数第四段最后一句“Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password prompt if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details”可知,该程序的一个功能是:物主在担心窃贼掌握了访问信息的情况下可以远程切换到另一个密码提示。由此可推知,用户可以远程改变开机的访问信息。B、C两项在文中并未提及;根据最后一段“Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer. ”可知,远程删除数据或锁定计算机是其他软件的功能,所以D项不正确。故选A。
