Collection occurs even if no one is logged in.Kill date is modified by inserting a watermarked USB drive.

A CreatePartition v3.1.1 supporting tool will be install before installing ExpressLane v3.1.1 on a target machine.

View the configuration of partition and options on the thumb drive and Reset the thumb drive – remove the hidden partition.
