Agent files are installed in the root of a USB storage device, such as a digital camera, iPod, or USB Flash. When the device is included in the system running Windows XP, it opens a dialog asking you to install drivers. This is a trick; no USB drivers are really required. You can click on “Cancel” or “Ok”, nothing will happen until the device is marked as stolen.



When the “Ok” button is pressed, the agent program communicates with the Gadget Theft server . If the server reports that the device was stolen then information about the system is collected and sent to the email of the device owner specified during registration.
