DMVsoft Releases ActiveScreenLock 2.3
How to protect your PC from unauthorized access with one mouse click.
ActiveScreenLock is one of the most simple, yet extremely effective ways to protect PCs from unauthorized access. While most people worry about viruses, trojans and spyware, folks tend to ignore the fact that co-workers, visitors or even family members are much more likely to get access to confidential data by simply walking up to a PC and looking it up.
ActiveScreenLock is a software application that makes PC inaccessible without entering a password. While Windows OS comes with the password-protected screensaver option that seems to have the same function, any advanced user knows that there are a number of ways to bypass this.
When ActiveScreenLock is activated (either by clicking a tray icon or pressing a combination of designated hotkeys), the PC becomes inaccessible. Whenever anybody tries to do anything with the locked computer, the program simply displayes a password-protected window placed on top of all the others. In order to remove it, a correct password needs to be entered. Key combinations Alt+F4, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+Tab, and WinKey are blocked.
If necessary, program user can opt to disable task manager or hide cursor. Restarting the locked PC will not undo the protection. Should anyone try to pick the password, the program will log all login attempts and what passwords were used.
This is what Lawrence Howard, a security expert from UKWares said about the program:
"ActiveScreenLock is an excellent alternative to the Windows password protected screensaver ... I found that unlike current screensaver password protection schemes the security cannot be by-passed easily ... When it comes to summarizing, ActiveScreenLock more than lives up to its claims."
