CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This application combines a user-friendly approach with effective tools to protect your computer against unauthorized access to system settings and more. Advanced Security Administrator's XP-style interface offers easily recognizable buttons, a menu bar, and a tree-view list of restriction areas. Options are divided into restrictions applied across all users and those that are user specific. The 12 system-wide restrictions can be applied to areas like Network, Internet, System, and Remote Access, and include options to add a warning when users log on, remove menu bars, and Start menu elements, and disable the Windows installer. Among the user-specific restrictions, you can limit or remove access to the Control Panel, Taskbar, and Start menu, with options to disable the Task Manager, restrict CD burning, and prevent file deletion. You'll also be able to view a log of user activity and save it to a text file. The program includes a Screen Lock component that requires users to enter a password to regain access after the computer is idle for a specified time. This easy-to-use and effective application can help any security-conscious user manage and monitor computer access and usage.
