Privacy Worries Goodbye with Folder Lock!
Kiss Your Privacy Worries Goodbye with Folder Lock!
A slim security tool lets you password-protect files, folders, drives andremovable disks in seconds and protect sensitive information in Safe Modeand even in real DOS Mode
NewSoftwares.net, Inc. today announces the release of version 5.3.9 ofFolder Lock, a fully-fledged security tool for the Windows OS. Folder Lockgives you a pain-free ability to lock, hide, encrypt and password-protectfiles, folders and drives on your PC. Also, you can protect files on USBflash drives, memory sticks, CD-RW, floppies, and notebooks. Unique toFolder Lock is its ability to protect files in Safe Mode and DOS Mode. Yourfiles remain protected if you boot your PC with a floppy or CD, and evenwhen you switch from one Windows platform to another, so that filesprotected in Windows XP remain protected in Windows 98.
"You can work with Folder Lock in much the same way as you would with a safein the physical world," says Steve Frank, manager at NewSoftwares.net. "Justlike it is with a real safe, you have a special folder, named Locker, whereyou can keep any number of private files and folders. This may be yourpasswords, credit card numbers, software source code, images and anythingelse that needs to be protected. Once the Locker is locked up, all filesinside become inaccessible for unauthorized users, be they your spouse,co-workers, cyber-hackers or computer viruses. You can simply lock thefolder, scramble its content, or encrypt it using 256-bit Blowfishencryption, which is the strongest today. Plus, there are five methods oflocking, known as patent pending, two of which are unknown even to the mostadvanced hackers."
"As for the files and folders that are located outside the Locker folder,you can lock them too," continues Mr. Frank. "Simply right-click the fileyou want to protect, select the "Lock Folder" item from its context menu,enter a password, and voila! Your file is locked. Now, it cannot be deleted,renamed, accessed, and even seen, that's, of course, if the Stealth Mode ison. However if you want this file to be protected in real DOS Mode or SafeMode, you had better drag it to the Locker folder. In addition to providingthe strongest level of protection, the Locker eliminates the hassle ofhaving to lock up or encrypt each file separately. Another good thing aboutFolder Lock is that it locks files even on portable devices. Copy theprogram folder of Folder Lock to the device and secure your files in theLocker it creates. Simple."
What tricks does Folder Lock let you play on hackers?
