Androsa FileProtector and DeepFreeze: Put Files or the Whole System on Lockdown

On 17 Feb 2009

The IT world and cyberspace is intriguing to say the least: on one had you have access to all sorts of information, functionality and usefulness: on the other hand you have malware, spyware, and other forms of malicious software (not to mention that even security software can throw a false positive your way every once in a while). It is thus important to keep your files and your system safe from harm, and this is where Androsa FileProtector and DeepFreeze come into play.

Androsa FileProtector allows you to protect you files from prying eyes and people with malicious intent by encrypting and putting a password on said file. The usefulness of this software program is pretty obvious: you need to keep your children away from certain files, you need to secure files in case they get lost, and sometimes you just need some files to remain private.

Here are some of the features you can expect to get from Androsa File Protector: self-decrypt archive creation, any type of file can be encrypted and password protected, protected files are compressed, Windows context menu integration, simple user interface, easy to understand functionality, files are deleted securely, real time protection statistics, automatic updater, file corruption verification system, pause or resume protection, also available in portable version.

Deep Freeze, which has recently reached version 6.4, is the industry’s standard when it comes to making your system bulletproof. “Faronics Deep Freeze helps eliminate workstation damage and downtime by making computer configurations indestructible. Once Deep Freeze is installed on a workstation, any changes made to the computer—regardless of whether they are accidental or malicious—are never permanent. Deep Freeze provides immediate immunity from many of the problems that plague computers today—inevitable configuration drift, accidental system misconfiguration, malicious software activity, and incidental system degradation,” says Faronics, the developer of this software application.
