The software secures files and folders by hiding and password protecting them, making them read-only or restricting access to external drives. It comes with a spyware defense system that guards against spyware installation.
I recently tried out Folder Security Personal and I must say, it's quite impressive. This software allows you to effortlessly hide and lock selected files and folders. You even have the option to restrict access through read-only settings, ensuring that users or programs cannot make any modifications or deletions.
But wait, there's more! Folder Security Personal also enables the ability to lock and make other drives read-only, such as floppy disks, CD-ROMS, and USB sticks. Not to mention, it functions seamlessly with any FAT / FAT32 / NTFS formatted drives.
One of the standout features of the software is its capability to repair and prevent against malicious changes on various options of the Internet Explorer. Things like Start Page, Default URL, and Window Title are among the list of customizable features. In addition, it includes support for special folders like My Documents and Send To, as well as disabling/enabling the Registry Editor.
But what really sets Folder Security Personal apart is its user-friendly interface that's password-protected and fully supported by drag-and-drop operation. The software also includes a proactive spyware defender that's designed to prevent IE hijacking and block installation of spyware, adware, and trojan horse programs, whether they're known or not.
Overall, I give Folder Security Personal two thumbs up! Plus, with the newest version (4.1), the software now supports Windows Vista.
