Kanguru Wizard USB Security Key

Review:
The Kanguru Wizard is a security device that lets you take files and folders on your computer's hard drive and make them 'disappear' when you remove the device from your USB port.

The device creates a 'virtual drive' up to 2G bytes, and uses 128-bit encryption for security. If you want your files to be more secure so that anyone else can't even see the files that are on the computer, this tool is a handy device.

Setup was pretty easy, although some of the information on setting up the 'virtual drives' was a bit more technical than we would have preferred. Once we created a virtual drive, it appeared on our menu when we opened the 'My Computer' area (at least on the Windows XP machine we tested it on). Kanguru says you can create up to eight different virtual drives with the device. When we disconnected the USB device from our port, our drives 'disappeared' from that view. Plugging it back in makes the virtual drive 'reappear.'
