Security settings
The Security preferences enable you to configure additional security settings. To maximize your security, we recommend that you enable all security settings.
Access Security preferences
- Right-select the GoToMyPC icon in your computer's system tray.
- Select Preferences.
- Select the Security tab to set your security preferences.
Security preferences
- Lock host computer upon connection and disconnection - Automatically lock the host computer when you start or end your GoToMyPC connection.
- Blank out screen while connected - Turn the entire screen of the unattended host cpmputer green or black while you are remotely connected. Note that hardware limitations with your video card may prevent screen blanking on multiple monitors.
- Lock host keyboard and mouse - Prevent others from using your host mouse or keyboard while you are remotely connected. If you are inputting opposite keys (e.g., caps lock is on when it is disabled on your client keyboard), you should lock your host keyboard and mouse.
