PUBLIC SAFETY: PC PhoneHome
Dear Columbia Community:
CU Public Safety and CUIT have teamed up to offer FREE downloads of PC PhoneHome, software that can help recover a lost or stolen laptop or PC. If your computer is reported lost or stolen, PC PhoneHome secretly sends information to law enforcement officials containing the physical location of your computer whenever a network connection is made.
Don’t be a victim of computer theft. Students, faculty and staff can download the software at http://www.columbia.edu/acis/software/pcphonehome. All you need is your UNI and PASSWORD – it’s free, easy, and smart. To learn more about how to protect your own computer and data and contribute to a safer network at Columbia, click here http://www.columbia.edu/acis/security/users/index.html.
If you have any questions regarding this software or about safer computing in general, please contact the CUIT Help Desk at 212-854-1919.
This program is for both personal & University laptops and PCs
Coming soon…..MAC PhoneHome for FREE as well.
