Locked Down As Tightly As You Need It To Be.

Lock My Folders is an applet that lets you password-protect your folders from your file manager, then password protect Lock My Folders itself for good measure. It provides strong encryption and an easy graphical interface. It can be hard to uninstall, uses a decent chunk of RAM, and doesn't work great on Windows XP, but all that aside, it does its job very well.

  • Pros

    • Layered protection
    • Allows many passwords
    • Strong encryption
    • Free updates
  • Cons

    • Surprising RAM requirement
    • Messy uninstallation
    • Potential lock limits
    • Some features struggle on XP

User reviews about Lock My Folders

by J Gus

Downloaded it, installed, and than was propted to restart pc. After restart my windows would not load. After numerous restarts and debugging couldnt fix the problem. I had went into safe mode uninstalled lock my folders and restart again. Windows launched normally after uninstalling. I do not recommend this app for anyone as i was almost about to reinstall windows before having the hunch it was caused by this program.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.
