Folder Castle Gets A New Layer Of Protection For Networks

The newest version of a popular security tool from MagneticSoft
enables complete protection of private files in the folders users
share on the home, campus or corporate networks.

October 23, 2008 – MagneticSoft today announces the availability of
Folder Castle 4.0, the major update of the popular security tool for
protecting computer files and folders from snoops and thieves.

In version 4.0, MagneticSoft has introduced an additional layer of
protection against network snoops. Now users can be sure no one can
ever see their hidden files if they are stored in shared folders, for
example, My Documents. The other major change is an automatic check
for updates. When this option is enabled, the program will go online
to check for a new update automatically. Checks can be set to run
every day, week or month. If an update is available, the user clicks
the Download button and downloads the installer. Additionally, one can
check for an update manually at any time.

Folder Castle lets the user conceal personal folders or files so that
other people who can log on the same computer do not have any idea
that something is hidden away. In case of confidential or particularly
sensitive documents, the program allows the user to go one step
further and drag and drop files into a secure locker, which works as a
mountable virtual drive with on-the-fly 256-bit AES encryption. This
locker can be created anywhere on the local hard drive, or a USB stick
if one wants to take the files with him to the office or any other
place he is going to. Once the files are in the locker, they cannot be
seen or accessed unless the user provides a valid password.

Who can benefit from Folder Castle?

Folder Castle can benefit almost anyone who has to share the computer
with other people and wants to keep some files private. The following
is a short overview of its benefits for different people.

Students. Most students live with one or two roommates in an apartment
or dorm. That’s not to mention about many other people who visit them,
their roommates or simply hang around. Besides, most campuses have a
local network, so that students can browse the Web, chat, play and
share local resources with each other. Roommates and campus networks
often represent a security threat – some geek may get access to the
computer of the victim to snoop around for personal information.
Therefore, it’s a good idea to use Folder Castle to protect private
documents, photos and video from prying eyes.

Office workers. Protection of confidential documents is the important
first step in keeping the computer safe at work. The biggest risk
comes from co-workers who share the same computer and the IT people
charged with maintaining a corporate computer system. Folder Castle
installed on the office machine will prevent co-workers, IT people or
anyone else with a physical access to the computer or the
administrative password from browsing through the sensitive files,
documents, or projects. This data could be stolen or used against the
owner if it remains unprotected on a shared corporate computer.

Home users. Home computers often become a target of hacker attacks.
Anything of value is for grabs – financial information, bank account
details, personal letters and even more intimate data like private
photos and video. Then there are kids and spouses who may accidentally
stumble on some personal files they are not supposed to see. Folder
Castle is the best way to ensure that sensitive and confidential
information will not fall into the wrong hands. In just a few clicks,
one can hide and encrypt personal data so that no one finds it. It’ll
safeguard the user from the pain of discovery and restore his peace of
mind.

Available now, Folder Castle costs $39.95 (USD). A free trial is
available.
