About Intego FileGuard X4
Whether you use your Mac for work, play, or everyday activities at home, it contains a
variety of files. You may have music, movies and photos; word-processing documents,
spreadsheets and contact information; reports, letters and to-do lists. Most of these files
need no special protection, but some of them are confidential: you may have files for your
business, personal financial records, private e-mail, instant message transcripts and more.
Mac OS X protects your files by requiring a password to access your user account, but
hackers, vandals and data-thieves may be able to bypass this protection.
This is even more of a threat if you have a laptop, and use it on the road. If you lose your
laptop, it may contain much more than just your vacation pictures and itinerary. Anyone
who finds your laptop may be able to not only steal your files, but also your identity.
Identity theft is one of the leading computer security issues today, and the only way to
prevent it is to ensure that all your personal and confidential documents are fully protected.
FileGuard X4 creates virtual safes that provide unbreakable protection for all your sensitive
files. You can create as many safes as you want, using them for different types of files: you
can create a safe for your e-mail, another for your business documents, another for your
financial records, and one for schedules, contacts and calendars. Each safe can have its own
password, and when you close a safe, there's no way that anyone can get at its contents.
You can set the upper limit of a safe’s capacity: it will automatically increase in size to that
limit as you add files to it.
FileGuard X4's safes are not only secure; they are also portable. You can store safes on file
servers or external disks and you can keep them on your home or office Mac with no risk of
anyone opening them. You can even send FileGuard X4 safes to friends, family or
colleagues, and they can access files contained in those safes, as long as they have the
password, even if they don't have FileGuard X4 software.
