bProtected security solution is a MUST HAVE tool for anyone who shares a computer with someone else. It’s flexible and easy to use and will assure that your data is being protected against accidental or deliberate damage. It protects and controls access to valuable applications and information. Moreover it protects against unsupervised usage of the online services, Internet and software piracy. bProtected secure at the lowest operating system level using an advanced file based protection scheme that allows it to secure everything by preventing unauthorized access to resources and information stored in the computer. There are four protection levels: completely hiding files and folders, blocking any access to the files and folders, allowing just files and folders read-only access or just monitor files and folders data usage.
Our Review: A great program for restricting access for different user profiles. bBrotected sits in the system tray, and allows users to 'check' in and out. The program is managed by an administrator, who can set up and edit profiles. bProtected is fully configurable with regard to exactly which files/folders you wish to grant read/write accesss to. It also logs all security violations, which the administrator can review when they log in. Unfortunately it has some qwerks - namely that it can be bypassed using Safe Mode and that the uninstall doesn't remove all the admin settings (which makes it very difficult to perform a clean re-install).
