Version: Simple Desktop Lock 1
"Garbage"
Pros: None that I can find that's worth the spyware
Cons: Right after installing, the program attempted to gain internet access. Why would a desktop locking program need this? There is no information in the docs about why it would 'phone home.' It also writes a lot of unnecessary things to the registry, although I stopped it before it could write much, so I don't know what else it had planned.
I ran the uninstall tool and guess what - it's still there. Big surprise. And it still loads itself at startup.
Check out the company's website. It says "Securi-ONE is a company based around security. We develop easy to use tools for your computer to keep you safe from hackers, viruses, and physical attacks." This is the ONLY program that the company has and it is a shell of a website. It looks like a front for spyware.

- Publisher's reply:
Simple Desktop Lock is completely free of spyware. It was even awarded on a site because it is 100% free of spyware. It doesn't attempt to connect to the internet in any way and it doesn't save anything to the registry. If you still believe in your senseless lies, you can find a link to the site that awarded me on the Securi-ONE website.
