HTML Guard is a powerful and easy-to-use solution that protects web content against unauthorized copying. Be it HTML code, images, text or links, the software can help secure all parts of a website. HTML Guard is a software that allows you protect your source code.
Among other things, it is capable of encrypting HTML source code, preventing text selection, blocking the right-click menu and disabling the browser's print function. The protection provided by HTML Guard is based on altering and extending the existing source code of a website.
Pages protected with the software remain standards-compliant and can still be viewed in any JavaScript-enabled web browser. HTML Guard does not require any special add-ons or installations, whether in the browser or on the web server.

· Protection features
· Encrypt source code
· Scramble the code of your HTML files without affecting their display in the browser. Various settings let you select exactly the parts of your pages that you want to be obfuscated. For instance, you can just have the program protect your email addresses from being harvested by spammers, or apply encryption to your entire website.
· Compress source code
· Put your pages' code on a diet and let HTML Guard remove needless space characters, line breaks, comments, and other space wasters. This speeds up downloading and makes the code less readable and harder for others to reuse.
· Disable right mouse button
· Block the context menu in the browser, thus limiting the ability to copy or save images, text, and links via right-clicking.
· Disable text and image selection
· Prevent your website content from being selected with the mouse and copied to the clipboard.
· Disable Image Toolbar in Internet Explorer 6
· Hide the so-called "Image Toolbar" in Internet Explorer 6 that enables users to quickly save, print or email the image that the mouse is currently hovering over.
· Disable browser's print functionality
· Paralyze the browser's print function so that just a blank page is produced every time a user tries to print your website.
· Disable "Save as..." in Internet Explorer
· Force the "Save as..." function in Internet Explorer to cancel with an error message.
· Disable link display in status bar
· Keep the browser from displaying link targets and other messages in the status bar.
· Disable Adobe Acrobat's "Web Capture" feature
· Prevent your pages from being ripped and converted to PDF format using Adobe Acrobat.
· Disable shortcuts
· Block common browser shortcuts that allow quick access to functions such as saving the currently displayed page or viewing its source code.
· Restrict page use to certain web addresses
· Make your web pages viewable only under your own domain names and specify that pages may not be opened offline.
· Disable framing of pages by other websites
· Protect your website from being trapped in some other site's frameset.
