Publisher's description
From NewSoftwares :Folder Lock is fast file-security software that can password-protect, lock, hide, and encrypt any number of files, folders, drives, pictures, and documents in seconds. Locked files are undeletable, unrenamable, unmovable, hidden, and inaccessible. You can lock, scramble, or encrypt depending on speed and security. Folder Lock is fully portable, so you can protect your files on USB flash drives, floppies, CD-RWs, notebooks, and hard disks, and it doesn't require installation on another PC.
Folder Lock protects files in Windows, DOS, and Safe modes, even when you change your OS or boot from a disk. Folder Lock doesn't let you delete its own program folder, and it can't be uninstalled without the correct password. The program blocks coworkers, kids, peepers, hackers, viruses, spyware, networks, and all online and offline threats. Additional features are, stealth mode, hacker monitoring, the ability to erase PC tracks and shred files, autolocking, auto Shutdown, and context menu. Version 5.1.6 fixes unspecified bugs and adds stability to the program.

Version: Folder Lock 5.1.6
"This is a great program. It does all it promised."
Pros: Very easy to use. Your files will be safe.
Cons: The criticism is not against the functions but rather, the UI... the
interface. Its big, very big and it sits on top of everything on the screen.
It shapes like a key, very bright color and you cannot make it small, hide it
or put it into the system tray. And then, the software's name... anyone who use your
PC knows that you have something to hide. Today I was using it and my lady wants to
use the computer for 5 minutes. Oh my...
