Snuko will be releasing their new version of their anti-theft and data
recovery software for windows, which now includes live online backup, on
Thursday 20th January 2011.

Snuko, a provider of Anti-Theft software, have recently released their
latest version of the software that includes real time online backup.

The previous version of Snuko Anti-theft had the ability to backup, encrypt
and remove data on the stolen device after it had been reported stolen.
The new and improved version of Snuko no longer requires the stolen or lost
device be connected to the internet before the owner can retrieve their
data from the PC/Laptop.

Via the web based user account, the user can now, not only report the
device lost, but also easily access backed up data on the device from the
web.

'This is a complete rethinking of how we want the software to handle data
loss', says Carlos Benvenuti, CEO of Snuko. He continues, 'Our main focus
with this new version has been to ensure that users get their data back.
Our first version of the software required the device to connect to the
internet before our application was activated and we could, take pictures
of the user, get IP information for police reports, lock the device,
encrypt the data on the device, and allow the user to recover their data.'

The new system has been modified so that it now keeps an active backup of
the users data on the Snuko backup servers, meaning data can be retrieved
even if the device is lost and never connects to the internet.

'In the previous version of the software, if the device was lost and never
connected to the internet, the user wouldn't be able to get their data
back. In the latest version, there is always a copy of the users data
located on our backup servers, which allows the users to access their data
at any time via a browser. It also bears mentioning that the data is
securely encrypted when stored, meaning only the appropriate account holder
will be able to access their stored data, always keeping the privacy of our
customers our highest priority' states Mr. Benvenuti.

To achieve this new functionality, Snuko partnered up with Mozy, one of the
world leaders in online backup.

Carlos continues, 'When we decided to change the way we handled data
backup, we decided to see if we could partner with a world leader within
this field to provide this functionality to us instead of re-inventing the
wheel ourselves. Mozy was a natural choice as their innovative features and
functionality matched well with our product.'

The new version of Snuko comes in two versions, a free version and a paid
version. Both versions are identical and include Geo-Location tracking, the
ability to take pictures of thief and IP logs for precise identification of
thief to help law enforcement agencies. Both the free and paid versions
include 1 GB online data backup, though the free version only includes this
online backup for 1 month free of charge. The paid version can also be
upgraded to 10 or 25 GB backup.

So how does Snuko work?
As soon as the Snuko Anti-Theft software is installed on your computer it
instantly starts backing up your data in the background.  In the event your
computer is ever lost or stolen you simply report it lost in your account
on the Snuko website.  Once the software checks in with the Snuko servers
it is notified of the lost status and starts tracking the device.  Not only
is the device tracked but webcam images and desktop images are taken to
help locate who is using it and how they are using it.  To ensure the
protection of your data Snuko also encrypts and hides all of your personal
files, thus in the eye of the thief data just starts disappearing!  Once
Snuko has what it needs to successfully locate the device it locks it down
to prevent further use but we allow the finder to send a personal message
including contact info to the owner.
