“Today I got a new tracker for my Mac called VigiMac, its quite interesting, so I thought I’d share it with you guys! Just go to vigimac.com and follow the necessary steps to setup your mac, then if your mac ever gets stolen you can log-on to the vigimac website and enable tracking, every 2 minutes your mac calls the vigimac website and gives the IP address of the network it is currently working on, so if the thieve happens to connect to the Internet, an IP address of their connection will then be sent out, you can then find out roughly what county/state they’re in.

Then by forwarding the IP address to the police, they can then get in contact with the service provider of the IP and receive a warrant to be able to trace them to their exact address, and then hopefully you’ll be reunited with your personal files, including years and years of memories.

VigiMac also advises you on how to protect your Mac with a password that can actually STOP anybody from wiping all of your precious data!!

And the best part is, its competely FREEWARE!!”
