    I'm loving every minute I use this program, I think this program has few negative reviews, all probably from competitors. I guess all popular programs always have aggressive competitors and that's why I love this program. It is most talked about encryption program on the internet right now.

    I think some people are jealous about the popularity of Folder Lock, may be they are the competitors, I think this software is a comprehensive data protection application. I did faced some problems with the older versions but that problem was created by myself and thanks to the customer support who helped ma alot to get back my important data.

    Excellent observation by Silver Shadow!

    There is absolutely no doubt that those reviews are written by the developers them selves!

    NewSoftwares.net Inc./ Folder Lock: IN YOUR FACE!!!

    To other readers who might consider FL to protect their files, ask you this first: Should I trust on liars to take care of the security?

    -I know I won't...

    I usually don't do this kind of things, but this is too much. WAY too much.
    Ok, here's the deal, 8 out of the previous 9 reviewers below me share the following:
    - They ALL have rated this software FIVE stars
    - They ALL have rated just one program in all of Fileforum, this one
    - They ALL have registered to Fileforum the very same day they rated this program
    - They ALL haven't done anything else on Betanews or Fileforum

    Come on!
    To the developer: this is not only CHEATING, but also being LAZY and STUPID.

    ONE Star! (and I encourage other *real* members of Fileforum to do the same to cancel out the developer's "clones")

    I have used TRUECRYPT, its totally a mess, caused me my very important data loss, just a waste of time, now using Folder Lock for last 8 or 9 months and found that its the most reliable and fast processing application, I like its gui and specially the stealth mode feature which is really very secure and useful, I would recommend Folder Lock.
