These days, computers are everywhere: from banks and government offices to shops and homes.
People tend to rely on tireless machines more and more every day. We store our valuable data, personal and business-critical information, photos, credit card information, important phone numbers and vast amount of other private information on our hard drives.
We install firewalls and anti-virus software to protect this data from outside intrusions and hijacks. However, according to reports by IT specialists, the majority of electronic data theft crimes happen due to improper protection of computer systems from the inside.
Human factor is still the greatest security issue today. Co-workers and even our spouses can easily recover any bit of information we attempt to hide in vain on our computers simply by looking at the screen of an unattended machine.
Lock My PC is a unique one-click system locking software that ensures no one but you can access your private data when you leave your computer unattended. Just press the hotkey on your keyboard or double-click the TaskTray icon to lock down your PC.
Once that is done, only the person who knows the correct password may access the computer! What others will see is your lock screen. Windows hotkeys and mouse movement are disabled.
Lock My PC is fully customizable: from custom lock screen image to security level settings – every possible option can be configured to suit your needs. Lock My PC also includes password expiration, administrative controls and more.
