Protect Your Computer Using A USB
Now you
can protect you PC by just using a USB flash drive. This is possible due to a
great software called Predator. Predator locks your PC when you are away, even
if your Windows session is still opened. It uses the USB flash drive as an
access point. Using the software is really very easy.
Using Predator
· First of all insert the
USB drive.
· Then run Predator
Software.
· Now just do your work.
· When you want to leave
the computer for some other work just remove the USB drive. Once it is removed,
the keyboard and mouse are disabled and the screen darkens.
· When you return back to
your PC, you put the USB flash drive in place and keyboard and mouse are
immediately released, and the display is restored.
Features of Predator
· Predator is available in
both free and professional versions.
· Predator can send alert
messages by Email or by SMS.
· Predator records all
security-related events in a log file: start, alarms, stop. By reading this
log, you will know if intruders have tried to use your computer while you have
been away.
· Predator frequently
changes the security codes recorded on your USB drive. If an intruder manages
to copy your stick, this copy will not work because the codes on your own stick
will have changed in the meantime.
· Predator disables the
Windows task manager when you unplug the USB drive. Nobody can stop it with
Ctrl-Alt-Del.
· Predator disables the CD
Autorun feature in Windows, to prevent intruders from running malware on specially
crafted CDs.
· Predator lets you regain
control of your computer if you lose your stick: when you start the software
for the first time, you set a password that will unlock your session if your
USB drive is not available.
· Predator can sound an
audible alarm if somebody enters an invalid password.
· And finally, Predator
can protect several PCs with the same USB flash drive, e.g. your home and
office computers.
