Whether from a child recklessly deleting files or a hacker ruthlessly stealing them, your PC is under constant threat of attack. Desktop security software provides protection against loss of sensitive data. Features such as e-mail and file encryption, hierarchal user management, and program access control make SecureWin a comprehensive if not overly ambitious product. SecureWin is structured under the assumption that more than one user has access to a single system, which makes it more suitable to the SOHO environment, as opposed to a LAN setting. SecureWin proves itself a thoughtfully designed program geared toward ease of use.
Installation is simple.
SecureWin centralizes management through its SecureShield interface, which allows the sysop to define permissions, public keys, and program restrictions, among many other things. SecureShield automatically launches after installation, displaying the User Management settings. The sysop adds and removes users and grants security levels. While the interface is organized and easy to use, there is no central location for viewing all the settings you have made. The same is true of other features such as Password Encrypt, which uses public key encryption to lock out prying eyes.
