You are better off with FileGuard, or Empower II. At Ease is a piece
of dung when it comes to security. It STINKS!!! Just boot off
a floppy, and it is bypassed. I go for REAL security myself.
Not to say that At Ease is bad. It is not for security, just
novice Mac users.
PS: If you want At Ease on your system, buy lock that locks over
the disk drive port. Then it will be adequate.
I am sorry if I rave, but At Ease would be OK if it had a built-in
driver locker like FileGuard 2.7.x or Empower I or II.
For Mac novices, At Ease is adequate.
Cheers,
