🛡️ Privacy Guard Pro v1.0
Developed by hysspy
Privacy Guard Pro is a high-security system lockdown utility for Windows designed to prevent physical intruders from accessing your workstation. Unlike standard Windows locks, this tool utilizes Low-Level Input Hooking to prevent system bypass and Smart Sensors to adapt to your activity.
✨ Key Features
📺 Multi-Monitor Blackout: Automatically spans all connected displays. Uses the Windows Virtual Screen API to ensure no "leaks" on secondary monitors.
🔊 Smart Audio Sensing: Integrated with pycaw. The auto-lock timer will pause if it detects active audio (perfect for movies or meetings).
📸 Intruder Capture: Automatically triggers the webcam on failed password attempts, saving evidence locally.
🚨 Blink-Alert UI: Features a high-visibility flashing red status when unauthorized access is detected.
⌨️ Kernel-Level Feel: Blocks Win+D, Alt+Tab, Win+R, and Ctrl+Esc. Continuously terminates Task Manager while locked.
🚀 tray stealth: Minimizes to the System Tray to keep your taskbar clean while staying vigilant in the background.
