The beauty of Nitrous Online's Power Administrator is that this program takes care of itself in every possible way. You can password protect the program itself, so that other users cannot change your system settings without your approval. If you feel you don't have the time to disable each individual aspect of your system, simply load one of the Preset Security Settings best suited for your needs. Power Administrator comes with five preset security options based on your computer's environment. Power Administrator even checks for updates of itself when you please. If a newer version is available, you can download it immediately with no hassle. Don't let other users make unwanted, annoying, and possibly dangerous changes to YOUR computer. If you want to take full control of your system, relying on the efficiency and ease of Nitrous Online's Power Administrator is the smartest decision you can make.

Other Available Options:

• Lockdown Power Administrator.  This minimizes the program and will ask for a password to allow for system changes!

Choose from one of our five preset settings based on your system setup!

The Load Custom Security Sets menu will display a dialog window with five preset security levels we have developed based on the computer's environment. Home 1 and Home 2 have a small difference in settings, but both disable the basic areas that can be accessed by an unwanted user. The office and school are on the highest security levels, disabling access to almost every potential area on the Windows Operating System that can cause harm if handeled in a malicious way. Any and all of these once selected does not go active until the user has hit the OK button on each dialog that appears with the proper options checked. By hitting a Custom Security Set, the Admin can still customize which options he wishes to have enabled and disabled. These are simply the specifics that Nitrous Online feels should be set for a computer of this specified location.
