I have no doubt at all that what you have been saying is correct,
Dustin. May I just quote an extract, and then ask a question?

Are there different types of persistence?

There are two levels of persistence for the Computrace Agent. The
highest level occurs when the persistence module is embedded into the
BIOS of the computer. In this scenario, there is no additional hardware
or software configuration needed for the Agent to be persistent.

Computers that do not have the Computrace BIOS Persistence Module will
have the software version of the persistence module installed in the
partition gap on the hard drive.

Would you explain, please, what is meant by "the partition gap" above?

No, don't! - I've read here!

What I suppose I really mean to ask is , if there is *no* BIOS
persistence, surely by using FDISK or Partition Magic, the persistency
can easily be removed, can't it? (even by someone like me! <vbg>)
