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,
