Version: Folder Lock 5.9
"Does not do what it says it does"
Pros: I like the easy use of the program and the interface.
Cons: Once you lock something in the folder and close the program, you can still go back and do a search of your hard drive and find whatever you put in the folder. I have used all 3 options to lock the folder, yet I still can do a search and locate/open files within the locked folder. Their support people inform me they are aware of this 'flaw' and that it is Microsofts fault due to Windows updates. They are working to correct it--if I can wait until August 2008, they will release a 'new, better encryption' update that will knock my socks off and correct all the problems. I am using Windows Vista. In the meantime, I have no security on certain files. SO, I just have to be sure and not let my computer out of my sight or let any one else use it until August.
