>From IObit: "Protected Folder is designed to password-protect your folders and files from being seen, read or modified in Windows 7, Vista, XP and Server 2008, 2003. It works like a safety box, just drag and drop the folders or files you want to hide or protect into Protected Folder, then no one can see, read or modify them. Whether you are concerned with privacy, data theft, data loss, or data leaks, Protected Folder is an ideal tool for you." InfoSec Institute Security Researcher Kyriakos Economou reports that some simple bit flipping of the return value from password checking function allows anyone to bypass the security of this product: http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/iobit-bypass/ It is not recommended to use this product to protect your (or anyone else's) personal information.
