User account locking automatically

[Guest]

When I am idle for about 10 minutes, my desktop disappears and another screen
appears saying that my user account is locked.

I am not using a screensaver and I have set my power settings to 'Never'.

I made these settings about 3 weeks ago and, until today, I have not had
this happen before.

The only change that I made between then and now is that I installed some
software yesterday.

Because of this, I am considering uninstalling that software.

However, I am not sure what to do next.

Also, if this is occuring because of a setting that I can change, I would
prefer to just make that setting change rather than uninstalling the software.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

With appreciation,
Charles

What was the software that you installed? Does it run on demand or run
constantly in the background? Did it change your preferred screensaver
and/or power options settings at all?
