Version: Folder Lock 5.9.2
"FOLDER LOCK 5.92 IS FRAUDULANT AND A JOKE UNDER WINDOWS VISTA"
Pros: The interface is cute, bordering on the childish
Cons: Installed this application on a USB drive, stored a few files in its Locker before closing the application. Under Windows, Folder optipons/Unhide protected operationg system files: Hide protected files was unchecked. All files stored in Folder Lock then became visible and intact, regardless of how they had been stored in Folder Lock's Locker: none were hidden, none were scrambled and none were encrypted.
Under Windows Vista SP1 this application is fraudulant and a bad joke. The developper claims it works with Vista. That's a bald face lie.

Version: Folder Lock 5.9.2
Cons: I purchased this application and installed it on my computer. The files were secured with a password. BUT. then, the application did not work properly anymore.
Despite the password and later on the licensecode the files can not be unlocked anymore. I can not get access to my files anymore!!
I tried to get support from Newsoftware Inc. by calling and emailing many times a day...NO RESPONSE...
Currently I am in big trouble as my files can not be accessed.
On a other PC I installed the application and there I could access the files despite that they were locked. e.g. shortcuts are accessible and via this way you can move the files to anothe place....what do you mean with secure?

Version: Folder Lock 5.9.2
"FRUDAULANT PROGRAM, ignore CNET EDITORS review."
Cons: The program claims portability. But I was able to easily open files from my USB drive on another computer (with folder lock installed on that drive as per instructions) Their customer services rep tells me to wait for a "BUG" fix patched for version 6.0 in December 2008. Another service rep says Folder Lock doesn't support my configuation (Apple G4). But it also doesn't work for Windows as other people here in this forum will tell you.
Question to CNET: Do you actually test these programs before you recommend it?
