Hopefully this can be done by this software you recommend but are there any others that simply lock the computer in a usable state and disable changes made in the guest account?

Hopefully this can be done by this software you recommend but are there any others that simply lock the computer in a usable state and disable changes made in the guest account?

I don't like using "Tea Timer" with Kaspersky, even though they can work together. I'd agree with Flo, and check system deeply (Registry included) once in a while, considering a good real-time monitoring is active. The whole point in system security is, I guess, finding the right adjustment between paranoia and negligence.

I don't think that using the computer for yes/no dialogs is productive :) What i don't like about this type of software is that they are not very flexible, and you don't get to set up own rules, furthermore you dont have an overview of the actual monitored keys. For me a no on this one, but the idea and specially its light weight make it definetely worth trying.

Only problem is it just blocks it. So when you try to run a program or even move certain files, it just fails. And you won't know why until you remembered McAfee AccessProtection is on and disable it. McAfee does watch the whole registry. Only problem is it just blocks it.
