Good free alternatives for Folder Guard

Though not exactly similar in functionality, TrueCrypt is what I use. I also used to use FolderGuard.
TrueCrypt is very easy to use and there is no reduction in performance. The only problem is that you will have to create a separate virtual drive to keep your protected files.
 
Not exactly the same functionality, but I recommend WinMend Folder Hidden. Instead of locking the folder, and keeping it visible.. WinMend hides the folder altogether. It won't even come up in the searches. If you want to make the folder visible again, run the WinMend program, which requires a master password. There, you can make the folder visible again. Many folders can be made hidden this way, from within the program.

WinMend Folder Hidden - Safely and quickly hide files and folders.

Hope this helps :)
 
truecrypt is really good...i have been using that for past 2 years...the only downfall is that you need to create a separate volume...
