BtProx {Bluetooth Proximity Lock} is a free application that uses bluetooth technology of your cell phone to lock your computer. It monitors the distance of your computer to your cellphone.
NOTE: This Software works like a Magic, Once the Application is Installed on your PC and Connected with your Phone for the First time, Its all done! Whenever you take or go away from your computer, Your Computer will Automatically Lock itself and once you come nearer to your computer it will unlock itself again.
:- Before this Software can work for you, Your Pc and/or Laptop must have a Bluetooth Features. I don't know about External Bluetooth o but the In-built Bluetooth Features works well.
HOW TO MAKE THIS SOFTWARE WORKS VIA YOUR PHONE BLUETOOTH
1. Download the Bluetooth Proximity Lock File, Unzip it and Run the Installer.
2. After Installing the Software, Minize it and Go to your PC Bluetooth Settings, Pair your Computer and your Phone together for the First time. If you're already using your Phone with your computer via Bluetooth, this step 2 might be skipped.
