Protector2 is a program intended to increase security on Windows 9x computers. Computer secured with Protector2 will gain security features similar to Unix or Windows NT. The features include:
· Every user has to logon to system before he/she is allowed to use the computer.
· User can work only with those files and folders he/she has access rights to.
· User is allowed to change only the system setting defined by administrator
With Protector2 you can:
· Allow access to your computer only for certain users
· Define user rights to any folder or file for each user
· Really hide hidden files for defined users
· Restrict access to system settings and other options using the Windows 9x system policy (disable dos mode, registry tools, Control panels and so on) Protector2 will protect these settings from changes.
· Limit the time user can use computer.
· Log logon/logout dates and times.
· Log attempts to change protected files.
Protector will enforce the specified user rights for file system on your computer and protect system registry from changes that could damage Protector itself or change system policy settings.
Our Review: An excellent access control package that includes built-in virus protection. Protector2 allows you to define user accounts with a whole load of customisations - well surpassing anything that Windows User Profiles could offer. Users can have their login times restricted, file/folder access completely customised (with unique settings for each folder if you wish), and then every advanced setting relating to computer control can be individually disabled - this extends to restricting access to printers, networks, desktop icons, display controls, and the registry. The login screen to your computer can be completely customised, and Protector2 offers comprehensive logging options. Protector2 will definitely ensure smooth running for a shared workstation.
