Folder Lock is a tool that can use to password encrypt any number of files you want. You can protect your files on your hard drive, USB Flash Drive, Memory Stick, CD-RW and other removable media. This way they can remain hidden from anyone that does not have a password while protecting them from any malware.

You can either encrypt or lock your files and folders. Encrypting takes a little more time while providing the strongest security (perfect for protecting very important files against hackers) and locking works faster, being recommended from hiding files from other people that might use your computer. Files and folders on any FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and EFS drives can be protected. All the encrypted or locked files cannot be renamed, moved or deleted without a password.

An interesting feature is that an encrypted file can be transferred using USB Flashes and other media including CD/DVD-RW. And no software is needed to decrypt the files. You just enter the password and the files will be automatically decrypted. No brute force cracks can be made on files protected with Folder Lock. This is because the programs delays for some time when an incorrect password is entered. If hackers try to break your password you will be notified because a beep is made when an incorrect password is entered.

Another feature is that all user tracks on a computer will be deleted when you exit Folder Lock : the recent document history and the clipboard will be erased when you exit the application. This program is very easy to use using the good looking and intuitive graphical interface.
