rugk 397 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) I only heard that ESET Anti-Theft uses WLAN to find out where the device is. Because many laptops have GPS included and there are also tablets/convertibles with Windows 8.x which of course have a GPS receiver. So do you use it?

Arakasi 549 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Mobile security uses gps. Smart security i think only uses wlan at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yes that's why I asked this. There are more and more tablets or convertibles (mix of tablets and netbooks/laptops) and it would be a bummer if ESS don't uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I haven't heard an official answer, but I take it as I assumed and Arakasi said: No, only WLAN. So, ESET, for you: Take this as a suggestion. For an Anti-Theft-Feature it is quite necessarily to have the best possible location. And if you can use GPS then you even ought to use it!

houtsma 0 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I use ESS v8 and although i am in the Netherlands and also my public router IP is a Netherlands IP address, anti-theft testing always puts me in Oklahoma USA. Also on other WLANs like at work anti-theft always puts me at the exact same coordinates! -- jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
