Prevent Deletion of your Important Files

Feb 26

Posted by Admin in Folder Protect | 9 Comments

It is essentially important to implement some kinds of access restrictions and sharing permissions on a computer with multiple users. This is because when two or more users are using the same computer, the chances of data loss and privacy breaches become higher. So, one must have to implement security permission to protect his / her data and to avoid any damage caused by data loss or data leakage.

The nature or levels of these security permissions can deviate based on who has access to the computer and what type of protection you want for particular files. For instance, you may want a user to access and read the content of your file but want to prevent deletion of files, or you may want to make certain files write-protected so that other users can access and read it but cannot modify it, and so on.

How to Protect USB Drive?

Feb 16

Posted by Admin in USB Secure | 4 Comments

As I am traveling this week in Canada, I thought that I should share one technique with you that I put in place before I left my home. Since my laptop computer will not be available for my use as I am away from my home town, so I backed up all my data to a USB flash drive before I left for the airport because I wanted to have my “business” with me.

I believe that carrying your data on a USB flash drive is a much safer way as compare to leaving it on unprotected PCs, but a USB drive poses problems of its own; for instance, if you lose your flash drive which is very common these days, or have it stolen then anyone who plugs it into his computer could easily get access to all files and documents it contains. It is a BIG security risk, but you can avoid this risk if you protect your flash drive or any other such drive with a good USB security software.

USB Secure

USB Secure

If you simply Google ‘Protect USB’, you will get a list of good locking software providing complete USB security. Choose the one that suits best to your needs and requirements like I have chosen USB Secure as it is easy to use and a user-friendly software that does not complicate me with technical jargon and unfamiliar terms, while providing me complete USB security. In addition to protect USB flash drive, USB Secure also password protect my thumb drive and memory cards.

The most amazing thing that I like about USB Secure is its Autoplay feature that allows me to protect or unprotect data as soon as I plug in my USB drive to my computer. USB Secure automatically detects all the drives currently plugged in to your computer and asks you for the password and when you try to access your USB drive in Windows Explorer, the program asks you whether to open the protected drive or simply Explore the drive.

The program uses multiple layers of patent pending protection that makes its protection PC and hardware independent. Protecting USB drive with USB Secure is very easy and what I say it is fun to do. Files protected with USB Secure are delete-proof and cannot be accessed without your password.

In order to password protect your USB drive, you just have to install USB Secure on your drive and set the password. Now whenever you plug your USB drive in to your computer it will ask you for the password and let you protect your drive.

Jan 16

Posted by Admin in Folder Lock | 2 Comments

Why do we need data protection and why do we want to protect our computer from unauthorized access, from viruses, spyware, adware, malware and hackers? Because these are the major threats and you would not like to be a victim of privacy breach or data leakage. As a smart computer user, everyone always tries to get the best security tool for his computer so that these kinds of problems may not harm his system and his data stays secure. Many people just load up the anti-virus programs and hope for the best, this is just not enough as some anti-virus programs have poor detection of polymorphic and in addition to have limited self protection.

Anti-virus programs do not provide foolproof security although multiple anti-virus detecting software may give you better protection, but as long as computer viruses change and evolve as rapidly as they do now, there is not a single anti-virus program that can be a cure for all.

Let me share some useful tips that will help you to protect your computer from hackers, spywares and malware.

Protecting your systems from viruses and spyware can be very frustrating sometimes but there are some ways to remove them from your computer easily and effectively. First you need to identify viruses and malware.

Malware can be defined as a malicious agent that makes your computer run slowly. Most malware are in the form of viruses and Trojans that execute malevolent tasks on your computer and make it run slowly.

The best way to keep your system safe from such malicious agents is to install a good and highly effective anti-virus program and update the virus defining files regularly. Secondly, keep your system up-to-data and install a reliable data locking software like Folder Lock that eradicates any possible likelihood of data loss.

If you find your system badly affected then you can follow these suggestions given below to remove spyware from your system.

At first place, you will be required to install a good anti-virus program or install other necessary tools via CD ROM on your computer. Run the program to scan your system. Secondly try to uninstall the spyware through “Add / Remove Programs” option available in the Operating System and make sure to reboot your system after uninstalling the spyware, afterwards scan your system with the help of anti-spyware software to ensure the complete removal of spyware from your computer.

Hacking is also one of the most common threats that almost every computer user is facing. Hackers are people who just want to take control over your computer so that they can steal your private stuff and use them against you. These hackers can only be stopped by using different security software or anti-hacking software that are designed to prevent these hackers from intruding into your system.

Folder Protect – Block unauthorized Access to your Files

Jan 12

Posted by Admin in Folder Protect | No Comments

Let me take you back in the beginning of 2009 when my system crashed and I sent it to the shop for repair and next day when I went back to collect my system, what I saw? I saw the repairing guy was watching the movie that was stored on hard drive of my system. I deeply got vexed by his behavior because my system contained all my bank account details, family photographs, tax records, official documents, e-books that I purchased, lots of other important documents, and approximately ten usernames and passwords stored in Firefox using “Remember Password” option.

I was lucky since it was a very small service center with few inexperienced technicians who were merely interested in copying songs and movies that I have stored in my system. Luckily, they didn’t look for other files that I have in my system, but just imagine if it has gone into the wrong hands, what could have happened? They could have used it for illegal things. This is a very common scenario and many people around the globe are facing it. Now the question arises what you can do to prevent such things from happening again?

There are too many correct answers for this one like you can have a safe backup of your data, so that if something happens to your system, you can just disconnect the external hard drive and send the system for repair. But again, you cannot keep the external hard drive connected all the day particularly if you have some important files that you use regularly. In this case, you need a good locking software that can lock your files on the existing location and you can access them whenever you need it by simply entering correct password.

Folder protect - Block Access

Folder Protect - Block Unauthorized Access

  • Download Folder Protect and installed it on your computer.
  • Run the program to set and confirm password. Click ‘OK’.

  • When you’re done with the selection, click ‘Protect’.
  • Once you click ‘Protect’ you’ll be able to see a list of your protected items, so that you can easily manage your protected items.

Folder Protect - Password Protect Folders

Are you using a computer that is connected to a network? Are you sharing your computer with your peers or with your room-mate? Is your data at risk or are you using an unprotected computer and fear for data leak? You people know very well that an unprotected computer always welcome spammers, hackers, identity thieves and cyber criminals.

Internet communication has brought the computer users together at one point where they can send and receive GBs of data at a click of mouse. Multiple users are connected through a network and can easily access and share their data with other users on the network. This easiness of communication has also created some serious issues of data leak and security threats for computer users.  Hackers and cyber criminals are always in quest of unprotected computers, which they can easily hack and then use them as Zombies to attack other computers on the network. This can become fatal if the data is sensitive like your Credit Card number or bank statement, etc.

As a smart computer user you need a smart application to protect your valuable data. Before buying any security application, first figure out what do you want to protect and what level of security should you implement? Generally speaking, most people want to protect their data e.g., years of family and vacation photographs, tax records, banking information, or important papers, etc. on the hard drive in such a way that they can access their data any time but their data remain delete-proof and cannot be edited or modified without their permission.

The Concept behind Folder Lock – File Lock & Encryption Software

Dec 15

Posted by admin in Folder Lock | 2 Comments

Folder Lock - file lock and encryption software

Folder Lock - file lock and encryption software

When NewSoftwares.net, Inc. was founded in 2000, our first priority was to develop a unique product that can set a milestone in the field of data security. After a thorough research, our development team came up with an idea of protecting users’ files transparently, without bombarding him with jargon and without requiring him to be a rocket scientist. The idea was that we produce something that would keep private stuff private with automated transparent encryption and without any hassle.

Almost all encryption software are extremely painful to learn and to use. Users do not like to wait for hours to get their data protected. Speed is something extremely desirable, however, there was no way at that time to develop a secure and reliable security application without the excessive time taking process in any encryption procedure. It dawned on our CEO, an idea that woke him up while sleeping, on developing a program that would perform encryption only once but won’t need the user to decrypt each file separately whenever he wants to access them. He rather decided to develop a totally new concept of having all encrypted data secured yet accessible in such a way that data doesn’t need to be decrypted in the hard drive every time, but decrypt only the desired data and that too in the RAM. This idea was truly phenomenal at that time, because so far the users didn’t realize that most of the time taking process in encryption is when the data is decrypted back to the hard drive.

The transparent encryption method made it possible to not only secure data faster but also to prevent privacy concerns of users that can be compromised by the use of a recovery software.

Since now the data is no longer being decrypted, there is no way this data can be recovered. And since your RAM gets cleared every time you restart your computer or shut down, there is no leakage of protected data possible.

Apart from the ‘Data at Rest’ security as offered by Folder Lock. Now the company focuses on other areas of data encryption and security by providing products on the concept of ‘Data in Use’ and ‘Data in Motion’ security. Folder Protect is our effort to do some ‘Data in Use’ protection by giving users a way to write protect, delete proof, hide and block access to their data. USB Secure is designed to provide ‘Data in Motion’ security by providing users a way to password protect their all types of portable media like USB flash drives, thumb drives, memory sticks, external drives and memory cards.

Since it was a new concept to lock and encrypt files and folders, we got an incredible response for the very first release of Folder Lock. Many people downloaded it and we received tons of feature requests that actually helped our development department making Folder Lock the best file encryption software available in the market

Folder Lock is a file lock and encryption software that can lock and encrypt files and folders, password protect USB drives and lock CD/DVDs. The program uses 256-bit AES on-the-fly encryption that lets you encrypt GBs of data in seconds and ensures maximum protection of your encrypted files and folders.

With Folder Lock, you can create as many lockers as you want and can also send them via email to your friends, family members and colleagues. You can also lock your data on CDs and DVDs and can even move your encrypted data to USB flash drives.

Folder Lock goes beyond normal file locking and encryption by providing users more than twenty privacy protection features.
