its a good software to hide your personal files
January 7, 2015
- Pros
- very simple and easy to get around this software
- Cons
- anyone can access locked files by running linux on your system
- Summary
- its of no use if someone tries to access files using linux
If it was possible to give it '0' i would.

- Pros
- Somewhat protects ONE file of your choosing..
- Cons
- Slow for the most part, in practically everything it does, encrypting and opening files alike. My biggest reason for actually taking the time to come onto cnet and actually flame this program is for the fact that i simply cannot uninstall this program. I found an encrypt-er that suits my needs but already had the My lockbox installed. Got around uninstalling it with I/Obit uninstaller and it froze my computer... Odd, but i force restarted (hard shutdown) when i rebooted it and tried it through the same route again thinking it was a fluke, i was met with the same results, and have been in practically every other method I have tried in unistalling this program...
- Summary
- Not entirely sure if it has to do with problems in compatibility with win 8 or if my machine is conflicting with another encryption software but i find myself with a new fairly useless permanent program on my computer.... So i suppose if you have windows 8 be a little weary of downloading and installing this program. Hope others have had better luck with it on win 8 and it's just me.
Nice software. Does what it says

- Pros
- Quick and simple.
- Cons
- Often I found my folder unlocked if my pc goes off for any power failure.
- Summary
- I am happy using it
Useful unless you use Malwarebytes
MrHenders0nJanuary 26, 2014
- Pros
- Simple interface, very convenient. I used it all the time on my old PC setup.
- Cons
- Can cause crashes with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
- Summary
- The big problem for me is that under Windows 7, using Malwarebytes, it crashes the system at startup, unless you disable Malwarebytes real-time protection from auto-starting (and it's very easy to forget to start it later). The publisher is explicit about this.Also: be aware that there's no encryption, and the hidden files are easily found by starting the PC under Linux.
I like the lock folder
whitewolf759March 30, 2013
- Pros
- works great for locking up folder with many in it, and hides the folder after locked.
- Cons
- once you lose the password, you can't uninstall it or get a new password. I miss my lockbox. I am locked out until get a new password.
- Summary
- great but locked out. If anyone can help let me know here.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 6, 2013<p/>I just reinstalled mylock box and got a new password so I get to use My Lockbox again. :) sweet!
Great to hide what you don't want others to see

Easy software
hezzie43December 13, 2012
- Pros
- Very easy to use. Free. Does what it says it will do. Only takes one folder but that can be worked around by making up sub-folders for various files in one main folder.
- Cons
- Only takes one folder.
- Summary
- This program is quick, easy to use, no learning curve and free.
Great one folder locker.
klommlerOctober 24, 2012
- Pros
- I works great! Locks folders and makes them disappear.
- Cons
- The only con is that it only locks one folder, not much of a con.
- Summary
- My Lockbox has worked perfectly since the first day that I loaded it. All updates went in without a hitch.
Works as advertized
kevmaloneOctober 6, 2012
