5. How to prevent deletion of files?

 

In today’s technologically shrewd world, information is precious as people are making fortune advertising and selling nothing but information. Business information and records are protected sometimes better than military ones, e.g. if you share your computer with other people, your files can be made readily available to those people and they can modify or delete them. In such a scenario, you want a security tool that keeps your files and other valuable data accessible to other users yet keep them protected from deletion.
