How do I know if CompuTrace is already installed?
A. The University has already installed CompuTrace on almost half of its laptops. If your laptop is one of those that does not yet have it, you will be contacted to schedule an appointment to have it installed. On most laptops, CompuTrace is silent and invisible and will not be detected by looking at the disk directory or running a utility that examines RAM. On most laptops, with the exception of Macintoshes, it cannot be erased off the hard drive by deleting files because it is not visible in file directories. Since it is part of the laptop’s BIOS, it can survive a hard drive re-format, re-partitioning or even a complete hard drive replacement.
