Editor's review for Folder Lock
With widespread personal and professional networks crossing the globe today, the number of mobile access points for users while on the go is virtually endless. As cities continue to grow and mobile infrastructures continue to develop, more and more locations pop up each and every day where users can log on to the internet and browse their favorite websites or share important documents and other information with friends, family, coworkers or other acquaintances. Unfortunately, for many users, as the number of network access points increases and users look more towards utilizing the network systems of others so does the risk of security breaches to your machine.
Whenever you are logged on to a personal or private network most computer systems allow virtually any other user on the network to have access to your own machine in some way. While this is generally designed for productive purposes at the same time it can lead to many potentially embarrassing or dangerous security leaks for you as an individual, ranging anywhere from your personal information being distributed and shared to even sensitive personal information relating to you and your activities being hijacked and used for malicious purposes.
While many antivirus programs, firewalls and other security programs claim to offer various levels of protection for you as a user the fact remains that regardless of what is done there are always security holes left in many computer systems that can allow others to have access to your personal information if it is left out in the open on your machine. For that matter, without properly securing your information any user that happens to walk by your computer could simply access your information then and there without the need for a network connection, meaning any other software you use to blog intrusion attempts would be useless.
Enter Folder Lock, a comprehensive file locking and protection system designed with these scenarios in mind. Capable of locking up and encrypting your files in your personal computer, Folder Lock uses a complex 256-bit encryption algorithm to ensure that your files are secured behind a wall tighter than most used in conducting business transitions online. Not satisfied with simply locking up your information; however, Folder Lock provides a number of other functions as well to help give you peace of mind when it comes to your documents, ranging anywhere from notifying you of any intrusion attempts being made on your secured information to even permanently "shredding" or deleting all traces of your secure information from your computer that may otherwise be retrievable by recovery programs capable of piecing back together fragments of data that exist after a file is deleted.
Don't let your personal information be unsecured one more day. With so many threats currently facing your computer out there and new ones being developed, do you feel that you can really afford risking your personal data and all of your actions you do on your computer being found out and used against you by any unknown person somewhere in the world?
Take the first step and protect yourself with Folder Lock before it's too late.
