Access Administrator 4.8

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This program may not offer ironclad security, but it does offer an adequate amount of protection with minimal fuss. Access Administrator lets you determine which users can access certain PC resources and when they can use them. However, since the utility merely makes files and folders containing programs invisible instead of encrypting them, we wouldn't propose you use it for ultrasensitive data. The app's interface is straightforward in design, but setting restrictions for particular users and times isn't as easy as it should be. Happily, the Access Administrator is well-protected from tampering, as other folks will need your master password to change permission or uninstall it from your computer. Home users and parents who need a simple tool for controlling computer access might take a look at this program.

Publisher's description

From Ixis Ltd :

Protect your files and restrict others from being able to open, see, change, or delete them. File protection activates automatically according to the current user's identity and the timetable defined for him or her. You can disable Internet access, games, and other entertainment and define a timetable and a list of restricted files for each user individually, such as for your kids. Access Administrator also may protect files from casual or unauthorized removal. The program is reliably protected by a password, and you will find the program interface easy to negotiate and the online help excellent.
