Folder Protect
-
Version
2.8
Data theft is becoming more common. Sensitive data
loses happen due to thefts of laptops, hard drives and
computers. To avoid security breaches that occur due
to laptop or drive theft, you have to protect
confidential files and folders against unauthorized
access. You can encrypt the entire drive by Windows
means or set a password on particular folders of your
choice.
Unfortunately, if you use full disk encryption, your
data has no protection once you enter your password
and log in. In addition, disk encryption cannot
protect you in case of a misconfigured file sharing
when you accidentally share more than you meant.
You can use Folder Protect to safeguard your
confidential folders. It protects only the folders you
specify and does not encrypt all the drive. Folder
Protect has an easy-to-use wizard-style interface.
When you open the program, it guides you through each
step. Even novice computer users do not need any
training to start protecting folders with Folder
Protect.
As opposed to similar open source solutions maintained
by programmers in their spare time, Folder Protect is
a full-featured commercially supported program. That
is the program is not free (though moderately priced
at $39.95 a license), but it is regularly updated and
seriously tested before released to public. While most
companies nowadays charge for customer support and
outsource it to India and other countries, Folder
Protect comes with free support for all users
including those who use the free trial version.
Qualified support technicians reply to tickets eight
hours a day, seven days a week, so even on weekends
you can get a reply to your question.
Folder Protect runs on Windows Vista, XP, NT, 98 and
ME. Protected folders retain protection even if
someone breaks into your PC or plugs your drive into
another computer running DOS, Linux or any other
operating system. Folder Protect is a cost-effective
solution to the problem of laptop or drive theft.
