The main concern here is not "Computrace is tracking you", but "Computrace may be exploited". Basically, if Computraced is activated, it will actively attempt to inject its payload into Windows via BIOS to achieve persistence even after an OS reinstallation - like a rootkit. If a vulnerability allows an attacker to somehow control this process, nobody knows how far the attacker can go... * Deactivate the Rootkit: Attacks on BIOS anti-theft technologies https://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-09/ORTEGA/BHUSA09-Ortega-DeactivateRootkit-PAPER.pdf https://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-09/ORTEGA/BHUS... * Stuff just got real - First Computraced-based UEFI rootkit https://tcsltesting.blogspot.com/2018/09/stuff-just-got-real.html https://tcsltesting.blogspot.com/2018/09/stuff-just-got-real...
