How do you password protect your usb.
Hello everyone,
I am starting a new discussion on this board about how do people password protect their usb data on usb drive.
As far as I am concerned,I use a software that can easily password protect my folders on my machine as well as on my usb,the name of this software is Folder Lock,its an encryption software that can password protect my cds dvds and usb also.I found this software on the foloowing link,
http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock
I would like you people to share your thoughts with me or your personal experiences of using any security software.Your contribution would be highly appreciable.
Regards,
Kenneth.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
Folder Lock is not a very good way ( I found a bug on the very first day of using it)
I mostly dont need to password protect my files

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
My pendrive has a finger-print protection and in-built password protection as well.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
your pen drive may protect your data but Folder Lock can protect data on usb, cd/dvd,pendrives and can also hide the data so that no one can sneak into your data.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
whats makes U think that I am advertising any thing,If I would find any thing that is good for every one and is advantageous for everyone than why shouldn't I share it with everyone.
I don't know what makes people think like that..pretty much discouraging

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
^^But you know it is not a freeware, and not many are working Tom, Dick and Harry here. Lots of guys here are students. So a freeware alternative is always better for them.
Truecrypt is one such thing I like as an altenative.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
I recommend truecrypt as well. Its free, it has plenty more features compared to folder lock, and its not advertised by spambots in forums.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
^^lol free doesn't mean it has many bugs. You got it all wrong. Read the manual first.
Let the consumer decide which is better, a forum is meant to troubleshoot problems. So I posted an alternative.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
I use that U3 software from Sandisk for my USB drive. it wasn't inbuilt but I downloaded it. Works just fine (more due to my hack-proof password choosing abilities). But this software only works for Sandisk USB drives.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
I also have used true crypt..It worked perfectly for few months,then it stared showing up some bugs, I don't know why, I reported my problem to the vendor but didn't received any response so I decided to switch over something more secure and more reliable than true crypt and found Folder Lock...I have used its each and every feature... Its been 7 months using this software and i haven't faced any bug.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
What I dont like about folder lock is, its insistence on protecting files stored in one location, aka the locker. In my comp, I use Universal Shield.

Re: How do you password protect your usb.
I dont know its mechanism of saving files,,,the only thing I like is that it secures the data and no one gets any chance to sneak in to it, thats why I like Folder Lock.

Yeah, you got some great abilities there!
wait...what if I put a gun onto your forehead? Do you have any abilities for such situation?
TrueCrypt has a wonderful option for creating hidden containers!

Dude, have you every tried anything other than Folder Lock? The way you are supporting it, it seems to me that you are yet to see some more softwares!
BTW has anyone used Cryptainer(mobile edition, for pen drives, etc!)
