Security Tools

Due to the increase of hack attempts and privacy intrusions, protecting your data against strangers who want to access your most personal details has become an increasingly big concern.Security Tools is a lightweight suite that combines all the tools necessary for securing files and folders from prying eyes.

The application comes with a user-friendly, yet slightly rough interface that could use a bit of improvement. Upon launch, you are prompted to the first function of the tool, namely Encrypt file where you simply add the file or folder along with the password and a PIM, which must be higher than 500. Decrypting the file is just as simple, as you add the file and add the password and PIM provided by the sender.

In addition to files and directories, the program can also encrypt text and protect it with a password. The function can come in handy for the times when you are sending emails that contain private and sensitive information.

In case you have quite some data that you would like to secure, then you will be happy to learn that the app allows you to create a secure vault for storing them. Simply select the desired location, add a password and enable any of the extra security features available. If you are already using Veracrypt, you have the possibility to create a secure volume for the same purpose.

The app also includes a few Windows utilities that allow you to add files to normal and hidden startup, change the Windows password, toggle Task Manager and Windows Defender as well as shut down or force restart the PC.

In the eventuality that you are storing sensitive or confidential data on your computer and you want to protect it from anyone attempting to take a look at it, then perhaps you can consider giving Security Tools a try.
