LAlarm is a free laptop alarm. LAlarm emits a loud alarm sound when a thief tries to steal a laptop and it destroys sensitive data if the laptop is stolen. It also sounds an alarm when a laptop is outside a predefined safe perimeter or left unattended in an unsafe place. Furthermore, it alarms when a hard disk drive needs a repair or replacement in order to prevent data loss and laptop failure. Besides, it alarms when the battery level is low.

1) Protect laptop against theft. Laptop theft is common and a constant threat to laptop security. LAlarm emits a loud siren sound when a thief tries to steal a laptop. For example, removing the AC power cord from a locked laptop will trigger the alarm. LAlarm also warns the owner if the laptop is left unattended in an unsafe place for a period of time.

2) Protect data against theft. LAlarm protects sensitive data in a laptop by permanently destroying the data if the laptop is stolen. The US Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard (DOD 5220.22-M) is used to ensure that data is securely destroyed.

3) Prevent data loss. The HDD (hard disk drive) holds important data but is subject to frequent error and logical or physical damages due to various causes. If error or damage is detected at an early stage, it could be repaired before becoming a more serious problem and prevent serious data loss. LAlarm alerts the user of both physical and logical disk problems.

4) Prevent laptop failure. Hard disk drive problem is a common cause of laptop failure. But most users are not aware of such problems being developed and escalated until the HDD finally halts and the data becomes irrecoverable. LAlarm detects signs of HDD deterioration and recommends a HDD replacement, thereby, a laptop failure is prevented. As a result, a costly laptop repair expense is saved.
