CoverUp Secures Your Work When You Step Away from the Computer

Posted on by Chip Chick in Software | E-mail the Author 3

Perhaps you have a bunch of little rascals running around the house, or just an annoying roommate that you don’t want using your computer when you step away from it. CoverUp is a software program that locks and covers specific applications so that other people cant use them while your away. Just hit a key combination before you leave the computer and the currently active window will be covered by a screensaver. Upon returning to your computer, hit that key combo again, enter your password and you’ll be up and running again and being satisfied that nothing got messed up while you stepped away.
