Predator – A Software to Lock Your PC with a USB Flash Drive

We can use Pendrive, Memory Card, or any other USB device to lock our Computer. This is possible by using free software called Predator. Predator, a tiny Windows application which makes our USB Flash Drive more effective and interesting. Using Predator and our USB flash drive we can lock our PC/Laptop. The PC will automatically be Locked down when we remove the flash drive. But the Windows session will still be running.

How does it Work:-
·       
  Predator locks the PC when we remove the USB Flash Drive. It will darken the screen and the Keyboard and the mouse will become inactive.
·        
When we return back, then we just insert our USB Flash Drive and the Computer will be automatically Unlocked.
·       
  If anyone tries to access the computer in the absence, then we can see their activity in the log file. We can set alarm so that it will sound the noise if anyone tries to access the computer when it is locked.
·        
Predator uses the USB Flash Drive as an Access Control Device. It does not perform any type of modification in the existing data in the Flash Drive.
·        
Predator changes the Security codes record in your Flash Drive frequently. If any intruder copies the USB stick it will not work because in the same time the code of our own stick will change itself automatically.
·        
The Task Manager is disabled by Predator when we remove our USB Flash Drive. So that anyone cannot terminate any process in our Windows by Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del or Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
·         
If we have lost our USB Flash Drive then we can unlock the PC by the Password we have set in the time of starting the software first time.
·         
If we want to replicate the logs with our Twitter account, then you have to allow on the PC to remotely monitor all access-control activity.
