Ick.

Going by the feature list, that program probably hooks all kinds of NT
system calls[1] to hide files/folders and prevent file operations from
running processes.[2] How that could even in the slightest be considered
"security" or "protection" is beyond me[3], but I wouldn't be surprised
if it caused all kinds of headaches with applications...

[1] Cue "Oh noes, ROOTKIT!" brouhaha in 3... 2... 1...

[2] Removing the hard drive and hooking it up to another system should
    be enough to circumvent it; not "hacking" needed, as would be
    booting in Safe Mode (Oooh - security by obscurity:
