Protect specific programs with a password

Program Protector is an attractive, functional program that allows System Administrators to prevent unauthorized people from using certain programs.

Program Protector works on a very simple basis. You log in as Administrator, pick the . EXE file of the program you want to protect and add a password.

If anyone tries to use that program, they’ll be prompted for the password, and if they don’t know it, will be unable to use the program.

The Program Protector interface will show you all the programs currently being protected, and allows you to manage them centrally.

You’ll also be able to set an overall administrator password so you can have access to programs regardless of the individual password set. Program Protector also has a log function, so you can see exactly what’s going on with your protection.

This app is very easy to use. Program Protector is user friendly and intuitive, and you’ll most likely be able to get to grips with it without even glancing at the (excellent) help document.

It’s worth bearing in mind that in the trial version, there is a button to bypass the protection (rendering the program useless), but obviously this doesn’t appear in the paid app.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
