SecurDesk! 32-bit Version 5.3 Available

The 32-bit version of our SecurDesk! security-enhanced environment for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000 and XP is now shipping. The version 5.x series adds many new features and enhancements to this flexible tool set, touching almost every aspect of its operation.

Improvements have also been made to the SecurDesk! LV desktop-only edition.

SecurDesk! allows you to control who has access to your system, tracks how your system is being used, allows you to lock out certain functions, gives you multi-level password protection, automatic file encryption/unencryption, and many other security features. Unlike other solutions, some of which rely on hacking into program and system files, SecurDesk! won't constantly set off virus checker alarms or prevent you from using other common security measures.
