    Hello. I have accidentally activated Computrace in the BIOS on my Inspiron 1564, but it doesn't show on Windows. I've read the agent isn't always activated by the BIOS setting. Is it running? Could it be hidden? Thanks.

    Go back into the BIOS and deactivate Computrace LoJack for Laptops. IIRC, don't you need to subscribe to it to have it "do" anything?
