Predator usb locking program

Most likely going to get the Pro version. Yes Posted Nov 16, for v2. Not so good by gimpguy Aug 10, Read all my reviews. Found the X64 version, installed it, seemed to go well. Set up a key on my USB, fine. From there it was all down hill. Simple computer restart bypassed it, even with Start with Windows enabled. Would not bring up the lock screen for me to type a password after the first time, took me 15 min to finally get it to show after a restart.

All I had was a black screen, no keys would work, mouse did nothing. The PC began running choppy even after uninstall still have to figure that out 4. The monitoring would not always work, when it did, I ran into the above issues. The monitoring would kick in too late in some cases, allowing me to shut it right off. If this works better for others, good luck. In my case, I found it when working easily bypassed and did little but give me a headache.

Yes Posted Aug 10, for v2. Pretty good by hrwasp Mar 04, Read all my 48 reviews. I can see a use for this program if you did not have multiple users on one PC. Would be a really great software if you are the only person on that particular PC. I tried it out on my 12 year old and he decided he did not want or could not find the USB drive, so he just inputs the password.

You have several options, but one of the easiest we've tried is Predator Free. When your thumbdrive is removed, Predator locks your PC and darkens your screen if anyone tried to use it without entering the password. You can enable passwords for every operation or just once, which adds convenience if you're often away from your desk. It also logs activity and can sound an optional alarm. Predator Free is available in separate downloads for and bit versions of Windows. To set up the program, you need to create a password and a security key, but it's easy to do.

When Predator's monitoring is active, it places an icon in the system tray that lets users Pause or Edit the program, view log files, and access the Preferences, which include password and encryption key tools, alarm options, and Advanced options, including the ability to enable Twitter-based logging. Predator is very easy to use. We removed our USB drive using the Safely Remove Hardware function in Windows, automatically activating the security key in the set time.

We started to use the PC, but the screen went completely blank in seconds. Reinserting the USB drive restored our normal functions. Some of the program's Advanced options are disabled in the free version, such as the splash screen option and Task Manager. But all the essentials are there, plus some useful extras, such as the ability to use your own sound file for an alarm.

For office workers who must leave their PCs on but want to limit access, for students in dorms, for families, or for anyone who wants to restrict unattended access to a running PC, try Predator Free.
