Freezer

Freezer is a software tool that provides an effective and reliable solution for locking your PC based on a variety of factors. Among these factors are when the PC is idle, user-specified hotkeys, Control Panel access, specified dial-up connections, CD-ROM insertion to your drive, and specified executables' running. This feature-rich tool enables users to turn protection on/off with a user-specified hotkey.

While your PC is locked, Freezer allows others to leave you a message. The software also keeps detailed logs of invalid password trials and locking activities in a safe database, which can be exported to Word(r), Excel(r), HTML, or Clipboard anytime for easy access.

What is great about this software is that it does not affect your screen saver settings, yet the protection remains in force when your screen saver is activated. Furthermore, when your PC is locked, only a password screen accepts user inputs, and your desktop can be hidden from others.

All the settings of Freezer can be managed from the Control Center, which resides in your system tray and can be activated by a mouse click with your password. Overall, if you are looking for a reliable and user-friendly software tool to lock your PC, Freezer is an excellent option.
