- Only 2 donations (thank you Jean-Paul and Guillaume for your support)
- No declaration of thieft after installation of VigiMac (No, we cannot find a Mac already stolen…)
Thank you for your interest in VigiMac.
Our first advice to improve VigiMac : setting up a firmware password.
Defined with administrator privileges, this password is the best low-level protection for your Mac.
It avoids :
- your hard disk to be formatted,
- your Mac to be started up in target disc mode, from another disc, or another partition.
You’ll find on Mac OS X Install Disc 1 the utility to easily add or remove a firmware password.
The firmware password utility is available when booting from this DVD or by following our step by step video.
Hold the Alt key at startup to test this password.
It is now possible to track it yourself on Vigimac.com to check your installation and to declare a stolen Mac.
This new tool completes our anti-theft protection.
Try it now.
Install it, register your Mac, and forget it.
We hope you’ll never need to contact us…
