Protect your PC from Internet sabotage with PC Secure. This user-friendly application runs seamlessly with your computer's operating system to monitor all modem and Internet traffic passing in and out of your PC.

Every transmission of data is screened against your rules--only what you have permitted is allowed to pass. The program runs silently in the background, leaping into action when restricted data attempts to access your system. PC Secure also secures your computer against unwanted online sessions, so that no one can access your data without your knowledge and permission. The program's Time Out feature lets you specify the exact time and date your PC is permitted to go online, making unwanted user sessions a thing of the past. (Requirements: Windows 95)
