1333256 2013-03-18 21:40:00 Hi,

Does anyone have this tool installed on their desktop PC? This tool keeps popping up asking me to do something about it and from what I read is that it can detect new installed hardware devices and will lock down making it inoperable. If I am correct, this feature and utility only applies to users with laptops because this application came with my new motherboard.

Thanks.

"First, you need to have hardware support . Intel pushes this feature aggressively, but not all OEMs enable it .

A service subscription is also necessary . Once you pick a vendor for Anti-Theft service, your compatible hardware has to synchronize with the company's servers to activate protection .

A quick glance at the Management Engine's Anti-Theft screen on our machine tells us that the feature is available, but not active . "
