File Phantom on Bits Du Jour

There are a lot of sites online that have 24 hour, highly discounted sales of only a select amount of products that are often overstocked at other stores but there are very few successful software type sites that do the same thing but Bits Du Jour is one of the successful ones as it manages to attract a unique collection of software that it offers at a huge discount mainly from independent software developers.

My own software that I’ve been writing and selling online called File Phantom will be one of the featured products on Bits Du Jour on Monday, January 22nd. It will be selling for only 40% of the normal price which equates to $15.98. I also offer a 30 day free trial of the software at the File Phantom website so I suggest that you check out the software if you’re thinking of purchasing it on Monday. Normally File Phantom’s price is $39.95 so I think this is a really good deal.

I’m continuing development on the next version of File Phantom that has improved folder support, hotkey hiding and a whole new set of features but anyone that owns the current version will receive the new version for free. I’m hoping to release the next version around late February but it could be sooner.

Q&A Time

We hope that everyone had a great Christmas and holiday season. We’re back to working hard on some cool new features for the next release of File Phantom but we’re looking for insight into what you’d like to see as part of the product.

We’ve also received some really good questions of the last few days.

Question: I have a CEO that has sensitive files that he can’t have the IT staff looking at. If the CEO used File Phantom, would the IT staff still have access to those files?
Answer: The IT staff wouldn’t have access to those files because there aren’t any tools that the IT staff could use to open the files unless the IT staff knew the password of the CEO’s File Phantom account that he created.

Question File Phantom has user accounts. Are those user accounts connected to the Windows Login?
Answer: No, and this is a great feature because it prevents even people that have access to the computer from being able to access your protected files unless they also know what the File Phantom password is for your account.
