Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Snoopers can't find or access the files you hide using Folder Lock, even in DOS or under other operating systems. This application also erases your Recent Documents history, so intruders don't know what to search for. The attractive lock-like interface presents the program functions simply. You can click on the Browse link to locate and lock folders anywhere on your computer, or you can simply secure them via a right-click. You also have the option to shred files for permanent removal, monitor hackers who try to break in to your secured files, and enable stealth mode so would-be wrongdoers can't even see the folders you have locked. In our tests, the program demonstrated good speed, even when securing large folders. If you share a PC and need to keep certain files to yourself, you should definitely have a look at this application.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, disks, 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 a context menu.

Version: Folder Lock 5.3.1
"Awesome program, if you want anything hidden this is it!"
Pros: Great program 10/10. It somehow hides the folder called "Locker" in a very secret location and is unretrievable. You can encrypt, scramble or lock the folder in which it takes 1/2 a second to do. Will deffently buy in the future when my trial runs out. Recommend to everyone. Great work guys!!
Cons: dont really think there is :-)

"excellent tool, the software I needed to keep my files private"
Pros: I like how easy is to use folder lock, its great that you may carry on your protected files in a USB device feeling safe if you lose it. what I love is that the protected files on your pc, simply dissapears from your computer!!so nobody knows that those file even exists!
thank you
