Computer Lock Up 2.0.1.203

Going through two simple steps that will complete in very little time, is imperative should you decide to get the Rixler Software-developed Computer Lock Up application and put it to the test. The two steps I am talking about are downloading and installing the application on your Windows-powered computer, of course.

Getting Computer Lock Up off the web and onto your computer will only take a moment for a very simple reason: the download weighs in at 1.5MB. Even on a less than spectacular internet connection, it will take very little time for a 1.5MB download to complete, which to my mind is great. I don’t know about you, but I don’t particularly like to wait a long time for a download to complete.

Installing Computer Lock Up is a process that takes little time as well. Extract the contents of the archive you downloaded, run the executable, and follow the instructions presented by the setup wizard. You should be done no time at all.

It must be mentioned here that Computer Lock Up provides support for several versions of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. At the time of writing this and according to the developer, Computer Lock Up provides support for Windows 9x, Windows Me, 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7.

After you’ve gone through the two steps presented above, you can enjoy the functionality Computer Lock Up has to offer. What can this application do? The answer to that question is somewhat obvious from the application’s name, but just in case it isn’t here’s the lowdown: Computer Lock Up can prevent unauthorized access to your computer by putting it on lockdown. When you leave your computer, you can lock the keyboard, mouse, CD or DVD drives, and the screen. The protection Computer Lock Up provides cannot be bypassed in Safe Mode or by a user with administrative rights.
