Protecting your data and information from certain unwanted and prying eyes may become a dilemma if you end up with enough personal and private data on your computer or on your external storage devices. Folder Lock not only protects files from unauthorized users but also safeguards them from Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Spywares, Malwares, and from network computers and hackers who may try to steal your files when you connect to the Internet.

A Master Password is a user-selected master password or pass-phrase that a user sets when he/she first installs Folder Lock. As a result, ALL administrative rights to the program will belong to the user with the Master Password. This password becomes the main password for the entire application, and can ONLY be set or changed by the user who first installs the application. This master password must be strong enough to resist any kind of potential hack attack (For e.g. brute force, dictionary attacks, etc).
