Version: Advanced File Lock 6.1
Pros: Advanced file lock is simply the best file encryption tool. Other than the encryption features, this program has an excellent hide and secure delete feature. It an all-in-one tool.

Summary: We use Advanced File Lock at work, and I use it at home. Its very reliable and also very easy to use.

Pros: The lock and hide features are very simple to use.
This program also has a great perm or "secure delete"/ shredding feature. You can use it to completely remove files from your computer so they can never be dug up, even through forensic techniques.Cons: I like every feature.
Summary: If you are looking for a great encryption or folder/file hiding tool, this is the one.
