HawaiianHope - Thanks!
Police said they need a warrant from a judge to get the data from the ISP, they said they will submit a request
I don’t believe the ISP will give information to the police without a warrant - which afaik only police can get.
But you’re right, I need to check if they actually did something.
The laptop is connected a few hours every day so I believe it wouldn’t be difficult to find the computer even if it is connected to public wifi.
Para-Noid - Thanks!
Actually - That’s what I thought, until I saw the laptop communicates again with my.avast.com a few days after the theft, and it connects every day from the same IP since
propheticus - Thanks! I was hoping maybe Avast has more details not shown in my.avast.com that could help shorten this process, which will increase the chances of finding the laptop.
zorgon - Thanks! putting a hard drive password will prevent the thief reformat the hard drive?
