The use of this product is entirely at your own risk. In no event shall the author (that's me,) be held liable for any damages occuring through the use or misuse of this product. For a long time, I've been told "Never leave your worstation without logging out" and many times I've forgotten. Leaving your workstation logged in on a network can be a hazardous security breach, so one day, I've decided to write this simple utility. This is a great tool if you're working on a network as you don't have to log out every time you step away from your PC. This program will prevent all CONTROL-C, CONTROL-BREAK, or CONTROL-ALT-DELETE sequences by telling DOS that you didn't press CONTROL, ALT, SHIFT or CAPS. When it first loads up, it will ask you to set your password. Type in a password smaller than 8 letters, and hit return. When you hit return, the prompt will then say "Enter your password" and it will display the current time, along with the time Zombie Lock loaded up. This is so that incase someone does manage to break it, he wouldn't be able to run Zombie lock again and let you think everything is okay. When you come back, simply re-enter your password again and you have control of your computer. Should a hacker have typed something on the keyboard, Zombie Lock will alert you and tell you to look for a file called "LOCK.TXT" in the current directory. This file contains a list of keystrokes and the time they were pressed. Note that after a few hundred keystrokes or so, Zombie Lock will attempt to deter a hacker by flashing "HACKER ALERT" on top of the screen and beeping with every keystroke. If the bastard persists, the screen will display "HACKER ALERT" in huge white letters on a red background and make quite a loud police-like noise. Don't worry, when you come back, just type in your password and hit return; even if the "HACKER SCREEN" is up, Zombie Lock will let you continue. Zombie Lock will also run "CASTOFF" which disables Novell 'send' messages, so that the user cannot abort the program durring a message. If you're not using a network, don't worry about "CASTOFF." You may see a "Bad Command or file not found error" flash briefly on your screen. Remeber to run CASTON if you are on a Novell network and wish to receive subsequent send messages. Note that while this program will prevent someone accessing your computer while you're away, it will not disable a hardware RESET switch, nor will it prevent them from shutting off your computer from the big red switch and then going back to DOS. Therefore, it is best suited in a networking environment where if the vandal resets your computer or shuts it off, he would still be unable to access your directory on the net. While this program will disable the send command from pausing it, it may still be succeptible to keyboard activated TSR's, such as Borland's SideKick which may have a feature to remove everything else in memory that was loaded after it. However, as long as the TSR's "hotkeys" include a CONTROL, ALT, SHIFT, or CAPS sequence, Zombie Lock will work without any problems. Enjoy. :-)
