I thought it was a joke, you know, to get a laugh. But from the CEO down, not one of these people is over 15. You have to see it to believe it.

This looks like a reliable and secure application and was made by a good developer, so don't be tricked into thinking that your things are safe.
Basically, what I'm saying is that anyone, truly anyone, could come across these files. Especially if you work with the option to view invisible files.
Be warned!

I think MacHider and our UberMaks are meant for the second group and advertised as such. Any real encryption takes quite a time and if you need to hide a couple of fotos, documents, films etc. you have to wait a while. Not recommended when the boss comes into the Office and you a have but a few seconds to make a few things invisible :-)
For all other issues, try Knox or Espionage - they do hide files the encrypted way.
Kind regards

Just had this happen to me and it took me a while to recover files with a different method as the recovery tool in MacHider always crashed.
So I say stay away if you love your files

All what it does is to create a folder named .SYS_INDEX which is hidden, as it begins with a '.'. But it is readily visible via corr. Finder settings or with Terminal.app via a 'ls -a' command.
Then it reverse the name of the file or folder to hide. A 'Archive.txt' will be renamed to 'evihcrA.txt' and put into said folder .'SYS_INDEX'.
That's it! This is not very secure and there are a lot of applications that give you the same level of "security" as this app!
So after all, this app is not for me, but your mileage may vary ...

This is analogous to putting a filter on the Finder window so that only folders with "Bob" in the name are revealed, and then pretending that everything else is hidden and secure.
In short. Waste of money. You can put your own dot in front of anything for free.
