ABSTRACT:
Unauthorized access to a computer system is prevented by controlling power distribution to components within the computer system by a remotely controllable switch. An authorized computer user utilizes a radio frequency, infrared, ultrasonic or other type of wireless coded signal transmitter to send coded signals to a matching wireless receiver within the computer system that controls the power distribution switch. The computer user may additionally set an alarm that will sound if the computer system is tampered with or attempted to be used when disabled. Highly sensitive data is protected from being compromised by disabling the read circuits of the computer system data storage memory and for ultra critical data, the data storage system may be rendered permanently inoperative.
