IObit Protected Foldercan perfectly hides sensitive data with a few very easy operations. In my case, I change the name of the desktop icon to another common one, so others who look at my computer even have no idea of the program's existence. Surely an experienced computer user can find it out, but I don’t believe a hacker might be interested in digging out my programs. Here are some defects. If I want to change a protected file, I need to first make it unprotected and then change it before protecting it again. During this process, an unprotected backup copy will be left on the computer. I need to remove the unprotected backup to the Recycle Bin and delete it thoroughly, then the information will be very safe. If the backup copy can be automatically protected, it will be even better. If the software can make some improvements on allowing to change a protected file directly, no need to unprotect it first, it will be perfect.
If anyone is searching for a solution to avoid others accessing your private folders without your permission, I will recommend IObit Protected Folder unhesitatingly. What’s more, it’s not so expensive.
