Intego releases FileGuard X5

January 2008 by Marc Jacob

Everyone has confidential files on their Mac: financial
records, business documents, personal journals, private e-mail and more. When a
Mac is lost or stolen, these files are easily accessible, and could provide thieves with
valuable information. To help Mac users protect their sensitive files, Intego releases
FileGuard X5, a free upgrade to its popular data protection program, which creates
virtual safes where users can store their most secret documents. Intego is presenting
and selling FileGuard X5 at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco.

FileGuard X5 creates virtual safes that can be used to store sensitive files. Users can
store safes on file servers or external disks, and can keep them on home or office
Macs with no risk of anyone opening them. They can even send FileGuard X5 safes
to friends, family or colleagues, who can access files contained in those safes, as
long as they have the password, even if they don’t have FileGuard X5 software.
FileGuard X5 can create safes of any size, for any kind of document, and also create
special safes to protect e-mail and instant messaging transcripts.

FileGuard X5’s safes are accessible from the Finder, and open with a double-click.
Safes act like folders; users can add files to them by simply dragging files to a safe’s
icon, and FileGuard X5 can securely delete original files when this is done. Safes
have floating avatars, unique icons that display above other windows, so users can
drag files to them regardless of which other windows are visible. Users can also
access safes from the Intego menu, located in the Mac OS X menu bar, and from
standard Open and Save dialogs.

FileGuard X5 continues to provide secure data protection for Mac OS X, and adds
new functions to make the program even more secure and easier to use. Among the
program’s new features are the addition of 256-bit encryption; the ability to convert
safes to folders; and automatic secure deletion of files when added to safes.

FileGuard X5 is an essential data protection program for Mac. Its key features
include:
• Stores sensitive files in secure virtual safes
• Industry-standard encryption makes safes unbreakable

• Safes can be sent by e-mail, or stored on servers or external disks
