With SECURITY installed on your hard drive, you will protect your Windows data and programs from unauthorized trampering, viewing, etc. SECURITY for Windows will help you to maintain your privacy and protect your important data.

Part 2: Distribution Versions **SECURITY for Windows =========================================================================== SECURITY for Windows by Miller-Ware is distributed in two versions: first as licensed "User Supported Software" (SHAREWARE), and second as a licensed, REGISTERED program. Upon registration, you will receive a fully functional copy of the latest version of the program. Registered users also receive user support, notice of significant upgrades and reduced fee upgrade registration fees. We believe most people who use SECURITY will find it useful, and will register their programs. This is the foundation of the Shareware concept and what makes personal computing so exciting. Part 3: What is SECURITY for Windows? **SECURITY for Windows =========================================================================== SECURITY for Windows is a security system for your windows system which prevents access to windows without the correct password. The way SECURITY works is you edit your WIN.INI file so SECURITY automatically loads when windows is invoked. What happens is SECURITY takes over the system and will not allow the user to access Windows without the proper password. That is all there is to it. Authorized users have complete control over passwords for they may be changed at any time. If SECURITY is invoked and no response is received to the request for password verification within 5 minutes, a screen blanker will take control. To make another attempt at entering your password, just press any keyboard key or any mouse key. SECURITY may also be used during any Windows session. Merely click on the Icon and Windows is activated. The system will stop where it is until the proper password is entered. All Registered users are provided with a special Serial Number which enables them to access the "Back Door" Password. The Serial Number allows the user to override the system with a the "Back Door" password at anytime. If you loose your Serial Number, Miller-Ware Development will maintain a master list. All you need to do is contact Miller-Ware Development and we will assist you. That's real protection. Please see Part 6 "HELP! - I Forgot my Password" for more information about obtaining Serial Numbers.
