My work laptop has this on it.

DellTM* ProSupport Laptop Tracking & Recovery
Dell ProSupport Laptop Tracking and Recovery Service helps protect data by enabling customers to track mobile systems in the event their system is lost or stolen, partnering with local law enforcement to attempt recovery.

HOW IT WORKS
Computer will ship with the Laptop Tracking and Recovery software agent and a persistence module embedded in the BIOS. The software agent can survive operating system re-installations, hard drive reformats and even hard drive replacements.
When a lost or stolen computer connects to the Internet, the software agent contacts the monitoring center to report the computer’s location.
For systems with GPS technology included, Laptop Tracking and Recovery has the ability to capture and report more detailed location information. It also provides the ability to track your laptops as they change hands or move around the organization.
