Blue Lock

Blue Lock is a simple and easy to understand application whose main purpose is to offer you the ability of protecting your computer from unauthorized access, by locking it with your cell phone's bluetooth signal.

The program is fairly simple to understand and work with, but keep in mind that both your PC and your phone need to be able to send and receive bluetooth signal, otherwise the utility cannot function properly, as it will not be able to detected any of the devices.

Once you launch the application, it will automatically detect the available 'Local Radios', specifically the computer and its bluetooth adapter, while in the 'Discovered Bluetooth Devices' window, you will be able to locate your own mobile phone, among all other received signals.

The 'Timeout' slider lets you set for how long to look for remote devices, in seconds. You can then lock the chosen bluetooth-enabled phone, helping your computer recognize it when it approaches and when it leaves.

Moreover, when locking your computer, Blue Lock also disables access to Task Manager, which means that no one can access your system through the keyboard and turn off the tool protecting your PC.

When you minimize Blue Lock, it will run in your notification area, so as not to interfere with your regular activities, but still be able to perform its job every time you leave or return to your PC. You do not need to set up a password or remember difficult access keys, all you need to do is have your cell phone at hand, and the utility will automatically lock and unlock your system, when sensing the bluetooth signal from the device.

To conclude, Blue Lock is a useful and reliable piece of software that provides you with the proper means of securing your system against ill-intended individuals, using your own bluetooth phone.
