Even when we step away from our computers for a quick break or a meeting, we're reluctant to turn them off completely. However, this is often when our systems are most vulnerable to attacks. In these situations, Active Screen Lock by DMVSoft can provide peace of mind.
Active Screen Lock is a unique security application that allows users to step away from their computers without worrying about unauthorized access. It works by disabling Windows system key combinations, such as Alt+F4, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+Tab, and WinKey, and then shows a security screen over the desktop that requires a password for access. With the system keys disabled, it's impossible to switch to another application, run a program, or kill the Active Screen Lock window using Task Manager, so your computer is completely secure.
The application is entirely "bulletproof," meaning that even if the Reset key is pressed on the computer's chassis, the application will still be blocking access after the computer reboots. All access attempts are logged in the background, so if there has been an intrusion attempt while you were away, you'll be able to see it in the encrypted log file.
Active Screen Lock is also incredibly customizable, allowing users to display a clock or a custom image slideshow on the lock screen. Its multilingual user interface and flexible licensing policy make it a winner for anyone seeking robust computer security. Best of all, you can try it for free today!
