This is the best security software that I have ever used. It is simple to use and very straight-forward. And moreover, it is fool-proof.

"A pretty neat tool"
Version: Advanced File Lock 7.1.3451
Pros
Simple to install and use, and more importantly, it does it's job!
Cons
Don't think there's a Mac version for it.

For a guy who is not a tech whiz, this was just what the doctor ordered. My friend uses a Mac-book, and I think that they do not have a version for it. So I had to remove a star. Hope to see a Mac version for people like my friend.

"Caution!!! Read "All versions" negative reviews first"
Version: Advanced File Lock 7.1.3451
Pros
It has a nice looking interface. But that's it. I've done quite a bit research on this app. The company literally bribes many users into giving this app a five star rating.
Cons
Read All negative comments from user reviews on the All-versions link BEFORE downloading Advanced file lock to understand what you are in for with this product!!!
Summary
My personal experience: Having forgotten (Advanced File Lock thinks so) the unlock password for Advanced File Lock 7, it locked the computer up! I had to Force restart computer (not good for system stability) which allowed the computer to operate, but I still can't remove program.
More than 2 months later, their "24 hour-a-day guaranteed" customer service still has not provided help. Just email them and observe the 100% silence for yourself.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from Advanced File Lock. -
