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. HTML Guard removes space characters, line breaks, comments, and other space characters that are not really required except for readability. This speeds up downloading and makes the code less readable and harder to copy. Several other features can be disabled that makes it really hard to copy stuff off of your site. These include text & image selection, disabling image toolbar in Internet explorer, print functionality, "save as…", link display in status bar, Adobe`s web capture, block common browser shortcuts, disable offline viewing and disable being indexed and or cached by search engines.

Overall: Good handy program. Some of the measures may be a little extreme. For example disabling indexing may defeat the whole marketing/driving traffic to your site.
