Your laptops may *support* such packages even if you don't have/use them, and I'm guessing such support would still be vulnerable. For example, all our Dell Latitudes support the CompuTrace option. We've never had it or used it. However, I think I'll be sending my minion around and having him invoke the "permanently disable" command in the BIOS for all of them. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
