"DANGER! Your files will NOT BE SECURE!"
Version: Folder Protector 6.02
Pros
This would be a good program if it provided real security. IT DOESN'T!
Cons
Using the file manager called "Total Commander" (a free download on cnet.com), you can click through to the encrypted folder, and the contents will BE PLAINLY VISIBLE with no password required.
Summary
DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM UNTIL THE AUTHOR POSTS A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.
