This is a software publisher's decription.

Security for your PC is no longer a ‘maybe’; it has now become an absolute must. Experts estimate that it takes as little as 20 minutes before an unprotected computer is infected with an ‘internet contact’, whether it’s a virus, a Trojan horse or spy software, which stealthily accesses sensitive information before forwarding it to a hacker. For this reason, protecting data that is saved on the individual computer is extremely important.

Ashampoo Magical Security 2 encodes files with sensitive contents so that instead of text and numbers they simply contain an incomprehensible mix of letters. The algorithm is so strong that it isn’t possible for anyone to crack the code in a justifiable time period, even if they are able to draw on a very powerful computer. The security methodology isn’t only effective against the many confirmed hackers in the internet, but also against the spy who might be lurking in your own office and secretly copying files during the lunch break. With Ashampoo Magical Security 2, converting an encoded file back to its readable format naturally poses no problems.
