PREDATOR, written by Richard Goutorbe of France, information consultant for Montpellier, made its debut in May 2009. The software uses your USB drive to lock and unlock your PC. Once the drive is removed, the PC automatically locks. The software writes a unique key file to the flash drive, and the PREDATOR program constantly checks for it. If the drive is removed, the software dims monitors and hides all programs. Don’t worry; you will not be completely locked out of your system if you happen to lose the key. During installation you are required to create a password that can be used to unlock your system in the case that you have lost your key.
PREDATOR is available free for private, non-commercial use only. Companies, on the other hand, are asked to purchase PREDATOR Professional Edition with the corresponding licenses.
This is a very neat piece of software that adds an additional layer of security to your system as long as you remember to remove it from your pc when you walk away.
