ActivatorDesk is an integrated web browser and desktop replacement, providing you with a method of surfing the web, launching programs and managing your security.

Multiple logins are possible, with each user being able to organise items as they wish. Start menu items can be imported to ActivatorDesk, providing you with more control: you can restrict a user's program access and limit their surfing habits.

Its administrator control panel provides effective control over cookies, web bugs, pop-up ads and even banner ads.

InfoGrid and KidGrid provide impressive search facilities. KidGrid consists of thousands of websites on a 'white list' - sites that have been vetted and are free of violence and pornography.

ActivatorDesktop is fast because it operates in Ram rather than from the hard disk. This can result in low system resources however, depending on your available Ram.

A free email account is provided, complete with virus scanning and anti-spam technology.
