ActiveScreenLock is a software that gives computer users a secure and reliable way to protect their computers from unauthorized access. The idea behind the software is simple but ingenious - the program simply adds a password-protected window placed on top of all the others. In order to remove it, a correct password needs to be entered. Key combinations Alt+F4, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+Tab, and WinKey are blocked. The program keeps a log of all invalid access attempts and wrong passwords entered. The blocking window can be activated by clicking program's icon or after computer being idle for a set period of time. The program is also capable of hiding mouse cursor, disabling task manager, and it runs automatically if the computer is reset. You can leave an away message, which will be shown while PC is locked. Also, there is an option to create a lock screen slideshow by simply indicating a folder that contains the desired images. ActiveScreenLock is currently available in English, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Magyar languages. ActiveScreenLock has received dozens of awards, including Editor's Choice at TopShareware and FileHeaven, and 5-star rating at Softpicks, Shareup, FileTransit, SmartDownloads, and UKwares. Also, the program comes with full install/uninstall support and can be easily mastered by users with any skill levels, since it requires no special knowledge. ActiveScreenLock is distributed electronically over the Internet; free demo version is available at http://www.dmvsoft.com/ for evaluation (30-day free trial period). The price of a single copy is 25 US Dollars. Registration removes all time limitations and nag screens, gives you free unlimited support and entitles you to free upgrades and new version updates.
