NCF Utility is a powerful and easy-to-use security tool that can prevent users from acquiring important information when copying files. It doesn't actually block file transfers but scrambles the content of the copied files, making them unusable. The original items are left untouched.

Setting up this tool takes minimal time and effort, since there are no special options, third-party offers, or mandatory software products bundled with the installation kit.

As for the interface, NCF Utility opts for a standard window with a clear-cut structure, enabling you to populate the task list with the files you want to protect from copy operations. These can be dragged and dropped into the main frame while navigating disk directories in Windows Explorer.

You can check out the full path, size (bytes) and MD5 checksum of each file added to the list, find out the number of total items in the status bar, as well as initialize the guard with the click of a button. Before doing so, it's necessary to save all modifications.

Moreover, the application can be integrated into the system autostart lineup, in order to run by default every time you turn on your computer and protect the files in question. Worth noting is that new files cannot be added to the list after starting the monitor and until you temporarily disable protection.

It's also possible to include subfolders in the job list, as well as to export the list to file (.lpf) and later import it to pick up from where you left off, without having to recreate the same settings for file protection. This also means that you can create different lists with files to guard.

We haven't experienced any stability issues in our testing, thanks to the fact that the software program didn't freeze, crash or indicate errors. As expected from such a compact tool, it had minimal impact on the computer's performance, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM.

To wrap it up, NCF Utility facilitates a user-friendly interface and options for preventing other users from finding out the information of files copied from your hard drive.
