• Not the best interface but it works pretty well

  Pros

  It does a good job hiding sensitive docs.

  Cons

  I wish I could just select a folder for it to encrypt rather than have it bring all the files over.

  Pros

  easy and clean installation. works on a usb drive and portable.

  Cons

  complicated to use. you need to open program with password, select files to encrypt then tell it to delete old files and save new encrypted files to a new location. to unencrypt, select encrypted and save files to a new selected location. the same company's remora usb drive guard is much easier to use because you can select a folder encrypt all files in it with just selecting that folder. no need to tell it to do anything else.

  Pros

  I downloaded Ramora's Disk Guard, which works fine. Visited their site and saw other products, and that's how I came across FileGuard. I'm still looking for a program that will encrypt and decrypt on the fly, asking for my password from within the application that tries to open the file (such as within autocad's open file dialog box)... multitimm at gmail dot com please let me know if anyone knows of such a utility that does not require decryption b4 opening it but can do it on the fly. Many thanks.

  Cons

  I install it and nothing happens. Well, almost nothing... I get error messages when I try to run it, like errors relating to it's api.dat or substart.dat files, and various error messages. I run XP Pro on a P4.
