FileDefense

FileDefense Publisher's Description:
FileDefense is a program that forms the first line of defense in file access. It is a set of programs that provide an easy interface to locking down files and making sure that unwanted access is not given to malicious scripts, applications and services on the your computer. FileDefense automatically alerts you when any program is accessing files and prompts you to accept or deny that access. To this end FileDefense provides security second to none, stopping virii, trojan horses, malicious scripts and network services from accessing personal information, passwords or any other data that they should not have access to without your permission. The main functionality of FileDefense comes from changing the way your OS operates by adding a layer of security at the layer that we feel is the most important - the file access layer. The way we see it, the amount of damage any application can do to you is based on whether it can access your personal files. The more you can limit this, the less damage even the most malicious program can do. We feel strongly about data protection. And our strategy for protecting your data is not to attempt to protect networks or your fellow Mac users, but to focus on protecting your personal files, and doing that well. The free demo version of FileDefense allows a 30 minute trial.
