On a Linux PC, the user can not interact with the built in component, it is invisible. The basic idea of Computrace is to allow full takeover of the PC, and it can even do things the operating system can not. It is a high quality, professional built-in rootkit. … So, on Linux, part of it works, and part of it does not.

Does computrace work on Ubuntu?

Yes (Ubuntu, Debian). There should not be a big problem for CompuTrace developers to make it work with RH or SuSE I believe, since SW versions, placement of binaries and packaging are more or less standard in these distributions also.

Can computrace be removed?

Select the “Disable” option and press “Enter” on the keyboard to disable Computrace on the computer permanently. You will not be able to reactivate the Computrace module once it is disabled. Press the “Enter” key once more to verify the “Disable” selection.
