This product allows a PC owner to lock their hardware such as their keyboard and mouse to outside use through the form of a USB flash drive. It can be compared to a key locking and unlocking a door. It allows a physical form of security that can he kept on your person instead of relying solely on password protection and firewalls to keep intruders out, at least physically. It can also be used to limit PC use for those who may have your passwords at home, such as friends or family, but especially children. And speaking of passwords, the predator program can allow for speedier work on the computer by simply unlocking it rather than having to use passwords. It gives PC owners alternative options when it comes to security. It can even be used with those who own multiple PC's, allowing the same USB key to work among multiple computers. There are also multiple forms of predator that one must research, as some are free and some are paid for and can be downloaded across a multitude of websites. To summarize, here are a few of the main features of the Predator PC program:

Features:

  • Security through USB flash drive "key"
  • Locks hardware such as keyboard and mouse
  • Can allow for speedier computer use without having to use password locks
  • Multiple options and forms of Predator at user's disposal 

In conclusion, the Predator USB flash drive program functions as a key to your PC's hardware, like the keyboard and mouse. Rather than having it blocked by password protection, a physical "key" can be used to access your PC for more security and faster computer use. Many options are available when it comes to Predator programs, so careful research must be made when finding a correct product for a PC owner/user. 

Predator allows you to lock and unlock your PC like a key to a door, allowing security in the form of a physical USB you can keep on your person.

Some Predator program are paid for, but some are also free. It does require some set up, but instructions are generally provided online. Different Predator programs can require different operating systems, depending on your PC and which Predator you are downloading.

I think this sounds like a promising product. I would love to have extra security for my PC especially if I don't want anyone else to use it or easily gain access to it. I also like that it could replace the need for password locks. What does concern me is if I lose the USB how will I get into my PC if I desperately need to use it for something very important. If there is a way to override misplacing the USB I would definitely consider the product.

PrEditor works by locking a keyboard and mouse until such time as the associated USB "key" is inserted into the PC. This is an extremely low security hurdle for anyone with competence on computers to overcome. Virtually any PC can be interfaced with through a variety of means, including networked keyboards and mouses (not just the directly connected devices). This product is better as a low level computer science project than as actual security for any PC.

For those looking to create upcoming projects, PrEditos for Windows is ideal. This is for several reasons, one of which being that it supports several syntax coloring languages. Some of its functions include the ability to customize the menu, toolbar, and keyboard. This solution is perfect for then editing and publishing projects. I would recommend this for any creators looking to have an edge in the creation process.

I have three teenagers at home and this product has been a Godsend. I am able to determine the amount of time my kids are on the computer. I can disable my computer anytime I am away. It's so simple, I just insert the Predator in my PC, when I have to go away, I just remove it. My keyboard and mouse are disabled while I'm away.
