Abstract
A computer includes at least one memory, basic input/output system (BIOS) instructions and operating system (OS) instructions stored in the at least one memory, and a processor connected to the at least one memory and which upon starting first operates based upon the BIOS instructions and thereafter operates based upon the OS instructions. A timer is provided for shutting down the processor a predetermined time after being started unless a deactivation code is received. A biometric security sensor cooperates with the processor for causing the deactivation code to be received by the timer based upon at least one sensed user biometric indicating an authorized user. The BIOS instructions may cause the processor to calculate the deactivation code and start the timer.
