4. How do I use SpyLock with multiple users?

SpyLock can be configured separately for each user on your Windows workstation. This means that you can have different security and filtering settings for each user of your PC. To do this follow these steps:

1. Install SpyLock under your Administrator account.

2. Run SpyLock under your Administrator account and configure your settings for that account, if desired.

3. Login under each username on your workstation and run SpyLock - then configure the settings as desired for that user. Each user will now have their own unique configurations for SpyLock.

5. How do I use SpyLock's content filtering?

To use SpyLock's content filtering all you have to do is enable any of the three filtering settings SpyLock has. You can do this from SpyLock's system tray menu (Filtering). Once you enable and configure your filtering options you can start content filtering via two methods: lockdown, or scheduling. Whenever your PC is locked by SpyLock, content filtering is started. You can also start content filtering without locking your PC by using the content filtering scheduler that SpyLock has.
