It is a program that ensures that only authorized people can access sensitive information on your computer. WinLock is a comprehensive security software for personal or publicly accessible computers running all versions of Windows from 2000 to Windows 10. Parents, among others, will find WinLock Professional a great resource to limit user access to certain areas of the computer and the Internet, but be aware that it won't completely prevent sites if the kids use Firefox. The settings were null and void if the sites were accessed through Firefox. Users can set up a list of restricted and/or trusted sites, but the restrictions apply only to Internet Explorer.

The only issue we had upon testing was the Internet access tab. There is even a timer, which will limit the amount of time spent on the computer. Users can even go so far as to disable changes to the desktop or access to the Start Menu. Other features include the capability to lock users out of vital areas, such as the registry, task manager, control panel, and Windows folders. On the first use, users can easily set up a password to keep others from changing settings, decide when the program will run, and how it will log activity. The program works well to limit access to certain areas of the computer, but a few of the security measures could be bypassed by savvy users. WinLock Professional has a clean and functional interface that is easy to understand.

Anyone in need of amping up desktop security will find this application both useful and easy to use.
