Pros: Haven't really encountered any problems.
Cons: Novices may have trouble using the software. There are a lot of options. Half the time I have no idea what I have selected.

"Very good encryption software but beware of changes it makes under the hood..."
Pros: Has solid encryption and does what it is supposed with multiple algorithms to choose from. Privacy and security of your data is taken very seriously with this software.
Cons: Perhaps this is MAYBE a little too serious on terms of security. During installation, the option to turn of windows paging files is pre-checked in an EXTREME attempt to have no private data in memory.
This is going a little overboard and user's with needs of simple encryption and low RAM will find this very annoying. Be aware of this and uncheck this option if you don't need it... Otherwise you will be a little low on memory.

"The Best Encryption Software Around"
Pros: This is the best encryption software around. Better than the ones you pay hundreds of dollars for. Its real easy to figure out, Strong encryption, and best of all FREE! You can encrypt everything from regular files to a Full Partition or Computer. It has Cascades of Algorithms such as AES, Serpent, and Twofish with 3 different Hash algorithms which are RIPEMD-160 which is 160 bits, SHA-512 which is 512 bits, and the third version of Whirlpool which is 512 bits. Try it. You won't be disappointed in this software! Have used for a year now.
Cons: Nothing. It is perfect.

Version: TrueCrypt 6.0
Pros: Surprisingly easy to use, even for those who aren't entirely encryption-savvy. The software's wizard mode is extremely helpful and very convenient. Also has a 'traveler mode' for thumb drives.
