Developer's Description

By NewSoftwares

Protect, hide, delete proof, write proof, and block access your data.

Folder Protect is a new concept in Data Security. It lets you password protect and set different access rights to your files, folders, drives, installed programs and popular extensions. Folder Protect goes beyond normal file locking and encryption by letting you customize your security and choose between making files inaccessible, hidden, delete-proof or write-protected.

The program uses Windows Kernel level protection that even works in Safe Mode ensuring complete security of protected folders. You can lock, hide, access block and even prevent data from being deleted or modified. This can help you give access of your data to others without worrying about it getting deleted or modified. Folder Protect can't be uninstalled without a correct password. Furthermore, the program can work in complete stealth and you can choose an idle time when the data gets protected automatically.

Folder Protect offers an easy and uncomplicated way to select security type and make your files inaccessible, hidden, write-protected and delete-proof by choosing No Access, No Visible, No Write and No Delete respectively. You can also set a combination of these protection types according to their needs; e.g. No Delete and No Write can be selected simultaneously to make your files delete-proof and write-protected.

Folder Protect's Masking Protection is another valuable feature that protects all popular extensions like *.avi, *.gif, *.jpeg, *.bmp, *.mp3, *.wmv, *.mpeg, *.doc and many more. It lets you protect all the files of a same format with a single mouse click. Furthermore, Folder Protect's Context Menu allows you to password protect your files directly from the Windows Explorer without the need to start the program first.

Simple and effective protection
edward.lara27February 24, 2015
Pros
Easy to use and reliable
Cons
Perfect in all sense
Summary
There's no other product like Folder Protect, it's the only software that lets me set the security of my files the way I want. For a basic home user like me, I could care less about encryption, I rather prefer setting up my levels of security for specific files and folders and folder protect works best in that sense.
IT IS REALLY A HANDY SOFTWARE
gucci.dannOctober 1, 2014
Pros
The software offers multiple features and that is what I like about it
Cons
None so far
Summary
The software gives my important document password protection that I needed the most and, other than that, it also makes them edit proof and delete proof. These two features are really useful and are my favourites.

Pros
Haven't counted
Cons

Summary
I have two small kids who are very much crazy of playing computer games. I felt reluctant to allow them to play games on my PC as I was afraid that they will delete some important document. Tried to find some software which can make files delete proof and I found Folder Protect. Wow! Perfect solution for me.

Good for hiding homemade porn.
DerekReid81February 7, 2013
Pros
There is other software like this, but this one works the best
Cons
it has some features I don't really need
Summary
I and my girlfriend made a movie of us having sex, though; we made it for our eyes only. I purchased folder lock, and created a separate drive on my PC, in which I have saved all my home-made porn projects, Folder Protect has this feature to lock entire drives. Now no one is able to access my porn drive.
Great File Protection Software for Accountants.
VaughnGuyJune 4, 2012
Pros
Keeps financial records confidential.
Cons
Haven't seen any yet.
Summary
I work as an accountant for a small manufacturing company which employees about 40 employees. Due to the office space constraints, I don't have my own cabin; as a result, we are constantly at risk of having our financial information copied by cheating employees, as they have easy access to my desk. I began using Folder Protect to apply different levels of file protection to folders related to our financial information. Now I am confident that no one can steal our financial data.
Finally!Customized Security Levels.

Summary
I love this security program; it has options such as hide, no access, no visibility, and no write protection for files. As an attorney I sometimes have to write legal memorandums from home to keep up with my clients' demands, this software enables me to protect these legal documents. A must have for all attorneys!
