Secure PC/Laptop – Use your USB drive as a Hardware security key for your Personal computer or Laptops. There are many tools available but “Predator” performs well here – While working on Windows PC/Laptop, just plug-in your USB Drive – ‘Predator’ auto-starts – You can continue your work. When you are away from your PC/Laptop – just remove the USB drive, the Keyboard and mouse will be disabled and the screen will become dark. To bring it back to life – just plug-in USB drive again. No one can access your PC/Laptop when you are away from your place – because all the input and output devices are disabled. PREDATOR disables the Windows task manager when you unplug the USB drive. Nobody can stop it with Ctrl-Alt-Del. Also this tool frequently changes the security codes recorded on your USB drive. If an intruder manages to copy your stick, this copy will not work because the codes on your own stick will have changed in the meantime.
