In today's computer world, security has become a very important concern. In case the user has a lot of important files and folders stored on his hard disk and his computer is shared with other people, it's vital to have all the important information protected from unauthorized access. Besides that, the files generated by web browsers should be deleted on a regular basis, because these files contain all the user's passwords, bank accounts and decoding them may result in a very large problem. The Windows operating system doesn't have an application designed for these matters, so the only solution would be to use a 3rd party application like GiliSoft Privacy Protector.

As the name clearly states, the software is able to protect every aspect of the user's privacy, like personal files and folders and browser cookies and cache. The program can be installed on almost any version of the Windows operating system and takes little time to complete the installation process.

Regarding the interface of GiliSoft Privacy Protector, it features a nice looking graphical form, allowing any type of user to take advantage of it. There are a couple of tabs available, which allow hiding, locking, safely deleting files and folders and so on. There are also a couple of other functions available.

The user can hide an unlimited number of files and folders, being invisible to anyone, even from the DOS mode. Files and folders can also be protected, so they cannot be accessed without a password. This password is set when running the software for the first time. Files and folders can also be protected from being modified or deleted.

GiliSoft Privacy Protector features a Private Disk feature, which can create virtual partitions, where the user can safely store all his documents, images, sound files and video clips. Furthermore, there is a feature for safely deleting files and folders, making them impossible to recover using even the most advanced recovery software.

Browser history, including cookies and cache can be completely deleted using GiliSoft Privacy Protector, thus all the user's private information won't be able to get on the wrong hands. Unfortunately, the program only supports Internet Explorer. Windows history can also be erased using the same feature.

Pros

It features a simple interface that anyone can use. Besides that, an unlimited number of files and folders can be hidden, protected and locked using a password, preventing unauthorized users from accessing or altering them. Furthermore, data can be completely deleted, making it unrecoverable.

Cons

The trial version has some limitations, for example, folders cannot be hidden or locked. GiliSoft Privacy Protector is a complete privacy solution for protecting all your files and folders.
