Install-Block prevents unauthorized software installation and restricts access to selected programs and windows through password protection. Useful for parental, corporate, or educational settings.
With Install-Block, users can also regain lost productivity by restricting access to games, social media platforms, instant messaging programs, and other distractions. The software's ability to deny access to system tools and other Windows features further enhances the system security.
Any program, individual window, or website can be restricted for use with Install-Block. Once the program administrator has selected a feature to block, any user who attempts to access it will be prompted to enter a password, without which they won't be able to proceed.
Install-Block's features are extensive, which makes it an ideal solution for anyone seeking to safeguard their systems. It can prevent uninstalling, accessing the Start Menu, Task Manager, Control Panel applets, and more. It can even disable logging off and shutting down of the system.
Users can also prevent their children from using instant messaging programs, file-sharing programs, MySpace, or any other content they may find unsuitable. Likewise, employers can disable games such as Solitaire, and users can choose to disable the entire browser or only block internet downloads. The software also allows users to password-protect almost every program or window on their systems.
The program offers its users a lot more than Windows' Group Policy feature. For instance, administrators can remotely grant or deny access to blocked programs on networked user's machines. Install-Block also uses Blowfish technology to encrypt files, and users can specify a list of programs or windows to allow while denying all others.
In summary, Install-Block is a valuable software application for anyone seeking to secure their systems. The program provides a wide range of features that enable users to prevent access to specific programs or Windows features, encrypt files, and much more.
