PC Access Guard is free and easy-to-use software utility that allows you to keep others from accessing your computer while you are away. PC Access Guard monitors mouse and keyboard activities. If either one keyboard button is pressed or mouse button is clicked it generates alarm sound and, if correct password is not typed within a few seconds, it shuts down your computer.
You need to use PC Access Guard if you want confidential information to be securely stored while you are sleeping, doing some home work or driving to nearest supermarket. For example, you may leave your computer running for the whole night while Jetico BestCrypt containers are mounted. In such case everybody who gains access to your computer may view your confidential information! But he won't be able to do so with PC Access Guard. As soon as a stranger presses any keyboard button or clicks a mouse your computer silently shuts down giving him no chance!
