- After finding out about FileGuard [Version 2.72], my friend let me try
- it out. I really like it, but it kept freezing up my MAC during boot
- up...which requires me to keep rebooting many times...it crashed
- whenever AfterDark came on. It is also a little difficult to set up the
- access priviledges to everyone...and it is easy to disable the
- protection.
- The only way you are going to have a lot of security on the MAC is
- to have it either in the operating system or in the hardware itself.
- The freezing up is so upsetting that I removed it. I would buy it if it
- didn't freeze up soooooo much!!!!! I'm still look for a better file
- protector...
