WinPCGuard helps you protect computers and manage how they are used. Set restrictions to reduce unwanted changes, save time on maintenance and help users stay focused. You can view client desktops to see what users are working on and hide files, documents and folders from other users. The presentation tool lets you share your screen with other computers on the network.
Block selected websites and applications, or schedule access to computers and programs. WinPCGuard has low system requirements and starts automatically with Windows. Its installation is hidden: it does not create a visible program folder or a Start menu shortcut. You can protect access to the program with a password, which we recommend setting. Its client–server features simplify network management, while its access rules and time limits also support parental control at home.
