PC Memoirs

Advancement in technology has been rapid and most people have embraced it by having their own personal computers. However, the issue of security when it comes to the use of computers is a crucial thing as most unauthorized individuals may be curious enough to view other people’s files.

XUS PC Lock requires that the user designs a pattern by drawing it with the mouse to create some form of unique combination which cannot be easily traced by third parties or unauthorized users.

Somehow, irresponsible employees still find a way around these security measures.
