Freeware: Folder Protection

	Lock Folder  License: Freeware
	Lock Folder is a new security tool that lets you lock your files and folders with your personal password. Now nobody but you can access your most sensitive information. Locking folders and files also effectively protects you from malicious programs, such as viruses, worms and trojans. Here is how Lock Folder works - all you have to do is to drag file or folder you want to lock to Lock Folder window, and the rest is done automatically. Now your data is protected, hidden and can not be accessed without entering your personal password. It is critical to have effective protection from unauthorized access, since over 80% of reported security breaches come from within the organization, not hackers! Locking files and folders is the best way to guarantee that nobody accidentally or intentionally gets access to your financial, health, private or confidential information. And since locking your files, folders or drives makes them invisible, they can not be deleted, damaged or harmed in any other ways. Even if a virus gets introduced to your system, your locked folders will not be detected, infected or harmed. Here is the important part - Lock Folder uses the encryption standards approved by the US Government. This and others innovative and reliable technologies provide the safest way to store your information well protected against hacker attacks, malicious software and dishonest employees.
