Systems to protect your files and folders

New forms of smarter malware ready to penetrate your system's security are developed every day, that is a fact. But new protection alternatives are developed as well (although at a slower pace) and this is a fact, too. The truth is that users are always in need of new intelligent system protection mechanisms to protect sensitive data from being diverted to a remote server somewhere in the world. Malware in general has come to use intelligent ways to enter your system and surreptitiously do their bidding. In most cases their activity results in bringing your computer to a halt as system files are affected or ends up in sending sensitive information collected from your computer to a remote party.

Restricting the access to some files and folders generally increases the protection of the entire system and renders malware harmless. System Protect is one of the fighters using this weapon for guarding your most precious data from being deleted. The application is not at all expensive as it is a genuine freeware that can be used both in a corporate environment as well as in the confinements of your home with absolutely no restriction. It comes with a clean cut and very easy to use interface, with all its menus running down in the left hand part of the application. The learning curve is as smooth as can be and it will take you much under a minute to get the hang of it and how it can be used. Maybe that's the reason for the lack of a proper help menu and only the FAQ section on publisher's website will suffice to answer all your questions. The purpose of System Protect is not limited to preventing unwanted deletion of system files as it is perfectly capable of putting a lock to deleting user-defined files and folders. The first panel appearing immediately after launching the app displays the general protection status enforced by System Protect: protection mode, number of custom protection items and if the password protection of the application is on.
