What is Smart PC Locker Pro?

Smart PC Locker Pro is an advanced way to keep your computer secure.

Rather than depending on basic, built-in security options that have know exploits, you can use Locker Pro for an added layer of security. You can disable disc drive, CTRL+ALT+DEL, and other entry methods.

Depending on your operating system, there are a few known exploits with getting into your system. Someone you know may be skilled with guessing passwords, or may have tools that allow some method of entry.

Disc drive and USB are two methods used to get into a system, since some security tools can remove password access or clear passwords if an intruder has enough time to tamper with the system. PC Locker Pro gives you a few extra defense options.

It's so secure that if you lock your system and forget your Smart Locker system information, you're in worse trouble than if you simply forgot your main computer password. Make sure to use a password that you can remember.

If you're interested in deeper security and able to commit to better security practices, Smart PC Locker Pro is a good choice. Deeper system administrator tools on server systems such as Windows 2k Server are better, but confusing without experience.

Personal Tech Security is Important

How much control do you have over your computer's security? If you're not skilled in configuring and maintaining your computer, you don't have much control at all.

Think about how someone would gain access to your system and take information. While there are physical methods to do so, most physical intrusions will leave behind fingerprints or other physical evidence that police could use for tracking.

Digital methods are easier, even if they need some physical interaction. Using a bootable disc or USB drive to load a control or access program such as Hiren's bootable tools requires a connection, but clean, untouched drives can be used.

It's harder to break into your system if there's another security system in the way. Even if it's a basic additional security system, a person who isn't expecting extra security will be stumped.

A skilled hacker could get through, but that's additional time they need to spend, additional time to leave evidence, and additional time to make careless mistakes.

Using a tool like Smart PC Locker Pro is about making it harder for skilled intruders and impossible for unskilled nosy people to pry into your systems.
