CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Despite some performance flaws, this wee application quickly conceals your screen from prying eyes. Unlike similar security tools, AntiSpye doesn't use mouse clicks or hot keys to conceal your desktop. Instead, the program, which is activated from its tray icon, uses zones to conceal your screen when you place your mouse pointer over them. Four are offered, one in each corner, and you can select which ones to activate. Although you can choose a blank screen, a screenshot, or a screensaver to mask your active desktop, only the screenshot option worked as promised. Once a screenshot was saved for the second option, the program used the image when either the blank screen or screenshot option was selected. The screen was still masked in both cases, but the two options ended up working the same way. Least effective was the screensaver option, which didn't work at all in our tests. We like the one-key method of restoring the desktop, which doesn't provide the security that password-protection or hot-key access offers but works very quickly. AntiSpye has its share of flaws, but users looking for a no-frills way to shield their desktops from casual passersby will find this freeware fits the bill.

Publisher's description

From ZERGE :

The AntiSpye is an easy utility that will hide your screen from external eyes. No mouse clicks, no fingers configurations to press simultaneous key combination. Just move the mouse pointer to one of the screen corners and viola. Your screen will be hidden with blank window, screensaver or with the screenshot that you could make earlier.

Scan, edit, clean, and fix your system registry.
