Developer’s Description

By CPR Tools
Secure your systems running PATA and SATA drives.
AlarmDisk 2 provides a much-needed layer of security for systems running PATA and SATA drives. This new, exciting release performs real-time monitoring of many system features and displays important system information in a clear and easy-to-use format. A complete user's guide and windows help file are included with the product. Best of all, AlarmDisk 2 is available in a free, fully-functional trial version which operates for two weeks (14 days). After the trial version expires, simply obtain a registration code from the CPR Tools, Inc. website (http://www.cprtools.net/AlarmDisk2) and you can benefit from a full year's protection. AlarmDisk 2's key features include: Power Cycle Count monitoring -Alerts the user to unauthorized access to their data by methods including: --Removal of the drive - attaching to another system for access --Booting to a LiveCD for access Real-Time SMART attribute monitoring -Saves time and money on expensive data recoveries by alerting users to drive problems before drive failure occurs Baseline process comparisons -Snapshots of baseline running processes alert users to new, unauthorized processes which are running on the system. This aids in virus, malware, Trojan and bot-net detection User and System Accounts monitoring -AlarmDisk 2 keeps track of user accounts and reports on rights elevation and the addition or removal of user and system accounts Clipboard History -AlarmDisk 2 keeps a log of files and folders which have been moved or copied. File System Changes -AlarmDisk 2 monitors files created, files deleted and files renamed for user-selected paths. This key feature can be used to track unauthorized key file replacement(s) in system folders. Track USB use -AlarmDisk 2 keeps track of *all* USB devices that have ever been connected to your computer, alerting you to the possibility of unauthorized file copying. The current computer security model leaves a glaring gap. If someone is in possession of your system, even for a short time, how will you know if they've accessed your data?
