Sleep = broken iAlertU.
i loved it. until i ran into the same problem over and over and ... Basically, whenever my MBP goes to sleep and is woken up, the alarm goes off but cannot be disabled except by holding down the power button and restarting computer.

Works pretty good.
This program works great. It's easy to set up and install. I do wish it was louder and not be able to shut down the software.
Pros: Easy to setup and install.
Cons: Can easy shut down the program.
Alarm is only for 2 minutes and not loud enough.

A few Bugs.
I love the concept but I have two issues;
1) Once installed I couldn't find the program. It ends up I had too many icons in the top bar of my mac. So I shut some down and opened a program with a short menu and then I found the 'Stop' sign icon. You need that to set password and other preferences.
2) This issue is preventing me from using it, I can't disarm without shutting the machine and rebooting. On the reboot I can enter my ialertu password and turn the alarm off. Without a remote I can't figure out how to turn off the alarm once I have armed it. I enter the password on the keypad and nothing happens.Amazing software if they can get these bugs fixed.

Pros: - Lots of configuration choices
- easy to use menus
- works!
Cons: - difficult to find the program once installed
- Can't seem to disable alarm without rebooting

every teacher must use this.
I'm a teacher and computers get stolen as usual at school especially since most students now own and use computers at our school but if a teacher has their computer stolen the security issue for the teacher and the school is a major issue especially if the teacher hasn't password protected their computer or logged off beforehand. I activate the alarm in front of the students so they know how it works, now everyone stays away from it, including other teachers.

Can't stop the alarm if it triggers.
I like the program but, oh man, if it triggers I can't stop it even if I disable it with the remote or keyboard. The only way to kill the alarm is to quit the program. I hope this is a bug.
