Publisher's description of SecretsGuard

From Chili Media:

Secrets Guard is software that password-protects and stores all the files and folders you want to keep private in an encrypted container. Secrets Guard has built-in profiles that allow accessing your private bookmarks, e-mails, history, and Internet cash only when you enter your password and decrypt the container. This means that with Secrets Guard you would never have to care about your privacy after you press the secure data button. Secrets Guard password-protects: folders, bookmarks, Internet history, browser cash, private e-mails, and passwords saved in browser.

Editor's review of SecretsGuard

• 2.0 stars

• "SecretsGuard"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: SecretsGuard 1.0.106

This program encrypts and hides data, but its performance is only so-so. SecretsGuard saves Internet Explorer history, files, URLs, and Favorites in an encrypted disk, which can only be viewed using the program's built-in viewing application. The program doesn't always work as it should, though. Sometimes surfing tracks aren't saved to the disk, and you have to manually save files for them to be hidden. The program needs at least 128MB of RAM to operate, and the encrypted disks take up the maximum disk space regardless of their contents. The interface, although simple, isn't intuitive and doesn't provide enough information for one to easily use the program. Only a 10-day trial is offered. This software is a promising privacy tool appropriate for intermediate or advanced users, but it doesn't quite deliver.

  "Great stuff! All bookmarks and folders hidden and i sleep well."

  by eltorro on July 7, 2005

  Pros: My wife terrorises me checking what i search and do in internet. I have tried lots of "erasors" but after them everything looked too clean. With this programm i have 2 browsers: a hidden one and a standart!

  Cons: When I clicked "Add to SecretDisk" on a folder photos the programm created "photos.original" which i didn't like, but it was easy to delete it.

  "The most comfortable security product with many unique features."

  by MirkoRez on July 7, 2005

  Pros: This product is the one, which I've searched for a long time. I have tried many of the protection systems, such as PGP , BestCrypt and so on. But they're not comfortable enough to me. But this one, because of it's perfect thing, called "automatical system reconfiguration" ability is the most comfortable way for me, to make my vital data as secure as it possible.
