Developer’s Description

By Fortres Grand
Block rogue processes, Web sites, spyware, and malware from viewing, copying, and uploading your files.
Privacy Fence works by looking at your machine, the file types, the installed applications, digital signatures, and your preferences. If a program or website tries to access your text documents, spreadsheets, or the like, that it is not registered to handle or that you have not explicitly given permission for handling, Privacy Fence will halt the access, alert you of the program, its publisher, and type of access being requested. Privacy Fence will then wait for your authority and control before proceeding.

Privacy Fence is free of ads, collects no information, and does not ask for registration. Privacy Fence does not connect to any remote servers and never phones home. Privacy Fence can be stopped and started, enabled and disabled, installed and uninstalled all without ever rebooting.

After installing Privacy Fence you will see a two-click wizard that will look at all your registered file types, matching them with files in your recently used list and profile. Privacy Fence will then watch these files for access and prompt you for permission if any unusual access is attempted.

Privacy Fence keeps a record of every unusual file access attempt made on your personal files, making it easy to track the malware and spyware traffic patterns and identify trojan horses.
