Protect Your PC Using a USB Flash Drive

Now you can protect you PC by just using a USB flash drive. This is possible due to a great software called Predator. Predator locks your PC when you are away, even if your Windows session is still opened. It uses the USB flash drive as an access point. Using the software is really very easy.

Using Predator

• First of all insert the USB drive.
• Then run Predator Software.
• Now just do your work.
• When you want to leave the computer for some other work just remove the USB drive. Once it is removed, the keyboard and mouse are disabled and the screen darkens.
• When you return back to your PC, you put the USB flash drive in place and keyboard and mouse are immediately released, and the display is restored.

Features of Predator

• Predator is available in both free and professional versions.
• Predator can send alert messages by Email or by SMS.
• Predator records all security-related events in a log file: start, alarms, stop. By reading this log, you will know if intruders have tried to use your computer while you have been away.
• Predator 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.
• Predator disables the Windows task manager when you unplug the USB drive. Nobody can stop it with Ctrl-Alt-Del.
• Predator disables the CD Autorun feature in Windows, to prevent intruders from running malware on specially crafted CDs.
• Predator lets you regain control of your computer if you lose your stick: when you start the software for the first time, you set a password that will unlock your session if your USB drive is not available.
• Predator can sound an audible alarm if somebody enters an invalid password.
• And finally, Predator can protect several PCs with the same USB flash drive, e.g. your home and office computers.

You can also request or send files using the FTP File transfer manager. Its interface is well designed and suited for a variety of uses and applications.

Use Same Gmail Account for Multiple Online Accounts

Sometimes you need to sign up on single site more than 1 time. But for creating new accounts on same site you need different email addresses. Today I am going to discuss about a great Gmail trick using which you can sign up on same site many times using your single Gmail account.

You can use “+” sign in your Gmail address to generate an unlimited number of email address variations for your same account. For example if your Gmail Id is pctipstrickshacks@gmail.com you can put +(any number or word) before @ sign. For example :

pctipstrickshacks+1234@gmail.com
pctipstrickshacks+4455@gmail.com
pctipstrickshacks+facebook@gmail.com
pctipstrickshacks+gmail@gmail.com

Any mail send to such ids will always be received by the main id. Here whatever you enter after the “+” sign gets ignored by the gmail but they are considered as separate emails by most of the other sites. This way you can sign up for more than one account on the same site, but you get all your emails in a single inbox. Share your views regarding this awesome trick.
