Program Protector

password protect programs

Our Rating: (Very Good)

Program Protector allows you to password protect selected programs, so that a dialog will prompt for the proper password before the program can be run. You can password protect any Windows application by simply dragging the EXE file or a shortcut into the application interface. The protection cannot be bypassed, even if the executable is renamed. The program can also log all access to protected programs, and allows you to customize the password dialog. Program Protector modifies the executable of the program(s) it protects, so it does not need to be running (or even installed) after the password has been set.
