Perhaps it is good tool for hiding datas from KIDS, we cannot trust this software fully.
It is breakable, what they actually do is, when we lock a folder they just remove the directory,which we provide, from the filesystem temporarily and keep them in their database, maybe encrypted and when we unlock the folder they put the information back.
Anyone can break this, here is the trick,
If you are an exclusive user of windows then login using safemod and simply navigate to path where your locked files and folders are, and there you see the magic, the 'HIGHLY ENCRYPTED FILES and FOLDERS' are just in front of you as normal..
this trick wont work with the "LOCKER" they provide.
