With tech experts issuing warnings regarding data spies and other intrusive PC threats, you may be wondering how you can keep your data protected. One solution is SecuKEEPER, an all-in-one data security program that gives you an assortment of options for securing the data on your PC.

SecuKEEPER can lock files so unauthorized users can’t access, view, move, copy, or delete them. (SecuKEEPER will not encrypt these files.) Optionally, it can hide (and encrypt) locked files so others cannot detect them.

At a higher level, SecuKEEPER will encrypt files and secure them with passwords. If desired, you can make files self-decrypting, ensuring files you send to others (or move to storage devices) will transfer securely, yet open as soon as a user supplies the appropriate passwords.

Using SecuKEEPER’s Private Coffer feature, you can create encrypted, virtual drives (secure space on an existing hard drive) on which you can store sensitive information or install programs. Coffers can be as large as 64GB (with an NTFS file system; there’s a lower limit with other file systems); every coffer has a distinct identity with its own name, encryption algorithm and password.

With SecuKEEPER you gain protection not only against outside intrusion, but also against accidental or capricious internal invasion. It’s easier to use than Windows XP Pro’s built-in Encrypted File System, and its Password Manager ensures you can always access your passwords if you become forgetful. (You must remember the main password for Password Manager to work.)

Our single gripe was that while you can multiple-select files to lock or hide, you can only select one file at a time if you are adding them to the processing list for an encryption session. (Interestingly, you can multiple-select files to hide and then choose to encrypt them, as well.)
