WinLock is a security software that provides protection to personal or public computers. It allows authorized individuals to access confidential data while keeping unauthorized individuals out. Its comprehensive features ensure that your information remains secure.
This security tool allows you to restrict your users from accessing important system resources like Control Panel, desktop, and system registry. It also provides the option to disable Windows hotkeys (such as Alt-Ctrl-Del, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Esc, etc.), block mouse, hide the Start button and taskbar.
With WinLock, you can control how long others can use your computer. The program runs from the system tray and requires a password to access the available settings. Additionally, it loads automatically with Windows and allows you to add an optional startup message, provide audio notification, and set the time limit. Once that limit is reached, Windows is summarily shut down.
You can easily toggle the timer on and off at any time from the tray. Moreover, the parental control system enables you to activate filters that only allow access to websites useful for learning and reference. Responsible parents install WinLock on every computer that their children use to ensure their safety.
WinLock also lets you deny access to selected files, applications, and Explorer windows (Recycle Bin, My Computer, etc.), usb and hard drives, filter Internet content, and prohibit access to questionable websites. With this program enabled, there is no way around it without the proper password.
Whether you are worried about coworkers accessing your private files or your kids accidentally deleting your work files, WinLock is a software-only solution that provides excellent security.
