Today, I came across the security application called ‘Protected Folder’ from IObit company, and while I was testing it something clicked in my head, so I decided to go deeper. However, if someone has also to pay for it, then of course he has the right to expect something more, regardless the price that he needs to pay for it. In order to be clear, I am not saying that a free security tool shouldn’t be secure, especially if it claims to be.
We highly recommend Protected Folder to all users.From time to time I come across various security tools and utilities and sometimes I enjoy analysing them in order to evaluate their effectiveness, especially if they are not given for free.
Plus, your locked files and folders will not automatically disappear after uninstall (as this happens with most similar tools). The program password is also required if you want to uninstall Protected Folder. No errors have occurred during our tests. The program takes up a very low quantity of system resources (which is barely noticeable), includes a well-drawn user manual with snapshots for novices and has a very good response time. In addition, you can change the program password (optionally specify a hint), create an exclusion list, disable the slow slide move and fade effects and change the interface language. In the "Options" area you can configure settings and disable hiding or denying read/write access to the respective files or folders. Once items have been added to the list, they automatically become locked.
Files and folders can be imported into the list by using either the file browser or "drag and drop" method. The interface is clean and pretty intuitive. Upon initialization you are required to set up the program password. This type of software is ideal if you are sharing your computer with multiple users, since it provides you with a specific level of security. Protected Folder is a simple-to-use program which enables you to lock and hide your files and folders.
