I like the idea of protecting files as opposed to blocking computer access. If a friend comes over my house, he should have access to my computer, just not my files. Security programs that block computers with passwords result in unnecessary blockage to people who just want to use my computer for their own reasons such as email, internet, and games. They should not need a password to do so. I like that Protect EXE (Beta) is free for use as well as light on the amount of hard drive space it occupies.

Somebody has password protected an Exe file of a program, if someone grabs that particular exe file from from another system or downloading and installing it from Internet on a different computer, which is not a proteced exe anyway, then copy & replace the exe file in question ..it will eventually give away all protection as the protected exe itself is replaced with. Just a note! Imagine this scenario.

So it's a bit different. And Yes, UAC is annoying:) UAC is more by default and for the entire system…here you have a case by case encryption program. So it’s a bit different.
