SafeSex for Windows

Used SafeSex for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffAugust 24, 2015

Flaunting an inappropriate title and missing a key feature, this free program is nonetheless useful for jotting down and safely storing notes. SafeSex is a sticky notes application that can fittingly assign separate titles and password protection to individual notes. We easily stretched and shrank each little window to add as much text space as we wanted, and we were given a few aesthetic options such as font preferences, background, and border color changes. We appreciate that it can keep the title bar affixed to the desktop, even over other application windows. Unlike comparable programs, SafeSex offers additional security measures like its user-specified expiration period that times out access to your notes. The app also utilizes Blowfish encryption algorithms to encrypt and decrypt your messages as you access them. However, the absence of an alarm feature is a blow. If they can get past the title and the missing alarm, security-minded users seeking a notes app will find something to like with this freeware.

What were they thinking? The Name?
legend00001011December 14, 2005
Pros
Great, great software. Works just like it should
Cons
The only thing that really irks me about this software is the name. I am not sure if they were using this to try to sell the software, but I believe it backfired on them. I uninstalled this software only because of the name and will try other's like it. I don't want my girlfriend seeing this on my comp.
Summary
Efficient piece of software but . . . the name!

Pros
I like being able to make notes on the spot without having to search for the paper to write on or that pen which runs out of ink just at that moment.
Cons
The icon is a bit bothersome - it's locked in a spot on the screen which somewhat impedes navigation and it would be nice if you could rename the icon.
Summary
Great Program - Stupid Name

Pros
Does what it says it does, protects and keeps all documentation private
Cons
When my kids see " SafeSex" as an icon and then realize thats it locked, it really stirs anyone minds! Extremely childish name
Summary
Not worth downloading!

Pros
Just another sticky notes program. The only good thing about it is it's file size. But then, such programs don't really occupy much space anyway, do they?
Cons
"Fuzzy Duck Note Tab" is by far the most complete, compact alternative "notes posting" program available online today.

Pros
It's a nice tool if you need to make secure notes to your self.
Cons
It's been around in it's current form since 2002 and to my knowledge has been updated since. Download.com is a little late with this one.
Summary
Nice product - sketchy name can cause problems

Pros
The program is a great way to keep private reminders, thoughts, poetry you don't want read yet, etc. It keeps them password protected as promised.
Cons
If another user of your computer clicks on the programs icon they see a window that reads, "Safesex Passphrase - Enter Passphrase" This is something that would leave a spouse or child wondering what is hidden beyond the Safesex passphrase. <p>Great program - inappropriate and immature name.
