Custom enhancements*:

1. User Tracking

Once the Prevent is launched it automatically starts its user tracking mechanism. What basically it does is, creates a log of all the users added/deleted from a particular system in a PDF file – “Tracking Report”

The user doesn’t have to manually start this tracking, this is enabled by default. If you open “Local Users and Groups” by typing “lusrmgr.msc” (without quotes) in command prompt or Run windows you will get below screen, wherein you can create new user groups, add users to the group, delete users from the group and delete Group.

The current version of Prevent can report the below changes-

1. New group created
2. New user added to a group
3. User deleted from a group

User groups

2. Folder Tracking

Like User Tracking, folder tracking is also an integral part of Prevent design. The necessity of folder track arrives at the moment, when the user wants to deliberately make some changes in the system, for instance, delete a file/folder, rename, or want to use cut/copy/paste operation. However in these times also when Prevent is in the PAUSED state, the user can track the changes of 5 of its most sensitive folder.

Once you PAUSE Prevent, all the system operations became active again, “but” Prevent is still tracking your most sensitive folders. So whatever changes have been made while Prevent is paused will be logged into the “Tracking Report” PDF

Please Note: The PDF will only track activities from the predefined 5 folders only, activities done in others folder will not be tracked. You can set the folders for tracking by using the Track Folders screen in Prevent.

3. Reporting

Though the primary feature of Prevent is to restrict users from modifying data, it, however, allows users to “PAUSE” or temporarily stop this functionality, but during this period it tracks folders for users activity in a few of the predefined folders. Apart from it, user tracking also runs simultaneously, meaning any change in a user group or addition of new user etc will also get recorded in a pdf file.
