Publisher's description of A7 Active Protection

From CTK Group:

A7 Active Protection is a user-friendly protection utility designed for Windows XP operating systems. A7 AP protects your computer from unauthorized access while you are away from your computer. The program continues to disallow unauthorized access until you or another authorized person type(s) the correct password. Even if the disappointed intruder may try to getaway from the program by restarting your computer, this strategy will fail! As mentioned, until the correct password is typed, access to your computer is not allowed. If interested, A7 AP allows you to view the details of such intrusion attempts with the help of a smart log file. Another distinguishing feature of A7 AP is that, it is armed with a well-structured error handler that prevents your computer from freezing, which has been a bothersome problem with other programs. Finally, at the point of a click, you get unprecedented technical support for any questions that you may have.

Editor's review of A7 Active Protection

2.0 stars
""

This application blocks unauthorized use of your system, although bypassing its endeavor isn't difficult. A7 Active Protection requires you to set an eight-character password immediately following installation. Any time you leave your computer, initiate the program using the system tray icon. When active, A7 Active Protection immobilizes your desktop and all functions are disabled, aside from typing in the app's small password field. Attempts to access your system are recorded in a log created for you in Notepad, also accessible from the tray icon. While snoops can't reboot the system from the start menu, they'll soon figure out that simply turning the machine off and on again will override the program. Although this 14-day trial may spoil initial access attempts, persistent probing uncovers its lack of security. As a result, users with only low security needs will find this application good for the long haul.
