There is a software available as shareware that will allow you to access a
computer over the net and turn on the id.
Then you have the Id.  Intels response was to convince Norton to flash virus
warning when it happens.
but you have to have Norton tools and even if you know about it, the
intruder will already have your ID.

EVERY P111 is susceptible as they are produced today.  Intel turned them
off, but this software turns them back on.
