DESlock+ makes it easy to encrypt sensitive information and store passwords on your computer.

It looks like any other USB key but rather than storing files, the DESlock+ retains encryption codes. These codes are used to scramble and decipher files and emails, making it virtually impossible for people to steal your information.

After installation, you can protect any file or folder by right-clicking on it and selecting the encryption command from the menu. This only works when the DESlock+ is plugged in, offering a further element of security.

As a password is required to use the DESlock+, your files should be safe even if you lose the key, although an extra device is provided in the box for backup. Extra keys cost £50 each.

Emails can also be protected. DESlock+ will integrate with Microsoft Outlook, but not Outlook Express, and you'll have to disable Word as your email editor as DESlock+ uses its own software. You can also encrypt individual sections of text.

Although there's no memory to store files, the DESlock+ is nonetheless a good file security product.
