Publisher's description of Security Administrator

From Ixis Ltd:

Protect your computer and restrict access to the Internet with Security Administrator. You can deny access to each individual component of several Control Panel applets, including Display, Network, Passwords, Printers, System, and Internet Options. You can disable your boot keys, context menus, DOS windows, Registry editing, Internet, and Network access. Hide your desktop icons, individual drives, Start menu items, or even the entire taskbar. You also can apply password-protection to Windows and restrict users to running specific applications only. You can control Internet usage and view statistics of computer use by your kids or employees. Security restrictions can be applied universally or to specific computer users.

Editor's review of Security Administrator

• 4.0 stars

• "Security Administrator"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Security Administrator 12

Although this program provides a plethora of tools for restricting access to just about every corner of your computer, a large security hole keeps us from being more excited. Security Administrator's treelike interface makes it clear how to configure all aspects of the program and set up permissions for all persons who regularly use your machine. After password-protecting the program, you'll appreciate the ability to prohibit access to the entire computer, areas of the network, certain keys, the Internet, and system areas, such as the Start menu and Recycle Bin. Our sole complaint about this program's features is the list of third-party applications you can lock down is limited to Microsoft offerings, such as Office and Outlook. As previously mentioned, other users will need your password if they want to disable Security Administrator via the desktop icon or Control Panel. Unfortunately, we were able to easily remove the program by drilling into the appropriate folder in our PC's hard drive, a flaw we find tough to overlook. On all other counts, Security Administrator is a powerful tool, but it won't provide much protection from more resourceful users.
