If you have folders and files that you'd like to keep private, you should check out Folder Lock. It's not a free app, like My Lockbox, but it does have excellent configuration options and lots of ways of keeping important and private documents away from prying eyes.

How does it work?

Folder Lock gives you several options. Firstly, it's integrated with Windows Explorer, so if there's a file or folder you'd like to lock, simply find it and right click. From here, you'll have the option to lock or shred. If you open the program interface, you'll have loads more options, including the ability to lock and encrypt files, protect USB sticks, CDs and DVDs and encrypt email attachments.

What other features are there?

Folder Lock is a really flexible program and offers much more than just locking folders. You can also create virtual encrypted Wallets, for storing things like addresses and bank data, and also back up all of your encrypted data to the cloud. Folder Lock's configuration settings are also comprehensive and, obviously enough, password protected.

Overall opinion

Folder Lock is a great program. There are lots of free folder locking apps out there, but not many have the multiple features and ease of use of this one. Download it and give it a try - we think you'll like it.

Folder Lock is an excellent folder protection app. We heartily recommend it.

One of Password Safe's major benefits is its clear layout and comprehensive options - a good combination.
You create your safe and add as many passwords as you need. The configuration options are as comprehensive as any we've seen here at Softonic, with all the usual suspects - virtual keyboard, import/export options, hotkeys, password policy options and security parameters.

Password Safe is a comfortable program to use, but only experience will tell if the safe format is the best for you. Although it's comfortable, we didn't like Password Safe quite as much as other apps like BlackBox, but you might find that it is the perfect password manager for you - it's certainly in with a very good chance.

The Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security interface is relatively attractive - it's clean and easy to see the different options. Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security's main window shows you the current system status, highlighting any problem areas, while individual areas are clearly marked into Security Summary, Parental Controls and Subscription. These are all contained in a small interface, which many users will appreciate.

Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security comes with a good help file and has a number of settings that make using it more comfortable: auto-update, password protection and the facility to view history logs are a few examples. Apart from that, however, it doesn't have many options, and compares pretty poorly to other similar products, lacking a lot of the minor features that give you more bang for your buck.

Uncomfortable installation/uninstallation, weak features and lacking configuration options make it hard to get excited about Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security.

In today's scenario more and more people are using computers and also the internet usage has become a necessity of life. Computers have become our primary data storage device where we keep most of the data needed by us.

Now the question arises how secure is the data we keep on our computers? The security of data depends on two factors:1. People who access our computers physically2.

People (or mostly software) which access our computers through Network / Internet. It is easy to secure the data from the people who physically access our computers.

Most of them are our colleagues or family members. What we should be really worried about are those people / software which access our computer through Network.

Today Internet is full of Hackers, Spywares, Trojans and other software which keep on attempting to steal your data. Most of the data stolen by them are harmless in nature like our browsing patterns , email address etc.

But this does not guarantee that they would not go to the extent to steal our personal data like passwords, credit card numbers , address etc.

It is always wise to take precaution rather regretting later. This is where our software comes in the scene. With Secure Personal Data you will secure your data with 128 bit Blowfish encryption (One of the best in the market).

Now we will explain why our software is unique compared to other available software. Most of the software works on password checking encryption.

Ex: You set a password in the software and save a file. The next time when you open the file the software asks you the password and checks it with the earlier password you set and if the password match then it grant you access.

Now there are serious flaw in this kind of security:The password (may be also encrypted) is stored by the software and is always available for stealing and to be cracked.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of cracking can steal the password and run it through a brute force cracking software. The moment software checks the password you have entered, with the one it has stored, it is most vulnerable for an attack.

There are many software which can read through computer memory. All a person has to do is launch such a software and wait till the encryption software checks the password.

At this point the person can easily see that what he should enter to gain the access. What we have explained above is not a very uncommon scenario.

People are using this technique for long time and more and more people are getting into it. We studied these flaws and came up with an idea of a software which will be totally secure from the flaws above.

In our software we have removed the functionality of storing the password and checking it with what you enter next time. Our software simply takes whatever you provide it, which means that if the password is correct then you will get your original data else you will see unreadable (garbage) data.

Now even if someone steals your files, our software or gain full access to your computer still he would not able to read the files as there is no password stored or checked to be cracked.

This software has although a limitation. If you forget the password or enter a wrong password you will not be able to get access to the data. If such a case arise that you enter a password and see unreadable (garbage) data then please close the file without saving and open it again with the correct password.

Do you share your PC with other users? Maybe they're nosy, or you've got files you don't want to share. My Lockbox is a great little solution for the user who wants to keep some files away from prying eyes.

After installation, a destination folder is chosen to be locked, and a password must be given, along with a reminder question. It's then necessary to restart Windows. Once done, there is a My Lockbox icon, which when double clicked prompts you for the password, which in turn gives access to the destination folder.

Adding files to your locked folder is the same as with any folder, but when you 'lock' it, it will disappear. The locked folder is only visible when My Lockbox is open and unlocked.

My Lockbox is not serious security, as it does not encrypt files, but for average desktop users, it provides a solid privacy service. However, if government agents come knocking, looking for those secret extra terrestrial files you stole, you will be in trouble, and should have used an proper encryption application.

As well as basic configuration tools, there are a range of skins to choose from on My Lockbox, so My Lockbox fits nicely on your desktop. It's a breeze to set up, and as long as you don't forget your password, your documents won't get lost.

My Lockbox is ideal for users who want to obscure files from their irritating brothers or sisters etc, but won't protect you from serious hackers!
