Security Administrator

Sometimes it is hard to trust other users with your computer. Anything may get deleted by accident or your system might get infected, due to their lack of experience. Instead of keeping an eye on them, you can use Security Administrator to set up a wide range of restrictions on your computer. The software provides a rich set of restriction options, making it an ideal tool for office or school computers. You can even use it on your own computer as an effective parental control application.

Security Administrator's installation file is almost 2 MB large, which does not take long to download, even with slower Internet connections. Besides the software itself, the package includes a lightweight web browser, which does not leave any traces and a utility for locking the computer's screen with a password.

The available restriction options are categorized in a tree structure, on the left side of the interface. The options themselves are displayed on the right side, after selecting a category or sub-category. A restriction is activated just by clicking a check box next to its name.

In some cases, you will find additional options, on the same window, depending on the selected restriction. For example, if you disable the command prompt, you can choose to allow batch files or disable them as well. A search function will help you find a specific restriction instantly, because they are too many to count, and it can take some time to browse through each category.

From boot and shutdown to network and Internet features, the software lets you control mostly anything. Each category is accompanied by a colored dot which lets you know if the category contains activated restrictions or not. Clicking an option, on the software's toolbar, will apply the selected restrictions instantly. Security Administrator lets you import and export selections as well, sparing you from clicking too many check boxes.
