Several serious flaws keep this utility for securing files and folders out of the running. SecureLock's interface probably won't confuse experienced users, but novices may feel overwhelmed by its multitude of panes and sections. Still, we did appreciate the ability to lock items from directly within Internet Explorer via a right click. The application lets you secure individual files, folders, or entire drives with a password, then outputs them as an OSL archive other users can't access. You also can encrypt files for additional safety, but SecureLock won't let you choose among several encryption algorithms. In the few instances we got this program to actually work, it seemed fast enough. However, in the majority of our tests, we couldn't use it, as it doesn't support the NTFS drives used by many of the most current operating systems. Therefore, this program likely will have a tough time holding its own against the competition.
