The present invention shows a system and method for securing a computer. The system detects (step 21) an event such as the number of pressings (step 19) on a keyboard or the clicking (step 23) on a mouse. This system reads (step 16) for the presence or absence of an unprompted password before detecting the event. If a user provides the proper password, the system goes (step 18) to completion. If the user does not provide the appropriate password, the system notifies (step 20) a monitor of the unauthorized use of the computer. The system also mutes a speaker making the unauthorized user unaware of the notification and prevents the transmission of data via the modem. When notified, the monitor checks the unique identification of the computer and traces the location of that computer allowing the repossessing of the computer if it is lost or stolen.
