Giveaway of the Day - File Defender 1.1
August 27, 2009This giveaway is not available any more.
File Defender is powerful and easy-to-use software that comprehensively protects all of your important files. The software creates encrypted executables, thus removing the need for the software to decrypt files on other computers.
Due to the fact that the software is based on a very strong encryption algorithm, it is impossible to gain access to protected files without a password. It has a built-in key generator that creates absolutely unique combinations. File Defender is simple to use due to its seamless and user-friendly interface.

The Good
* Nice clean and easy to use interface.
* Creates self executable/standalone encrypted files.
* Encrypted files re-encrypt themselves after use.
* You get to chose if you want to save/delete executables or original files.
* Drag + Drop.
* Can encrypt multiple files at once.
* You can password protect File Defender.
* Uses XTEA encryption – light on resources for slower/older computers.
The Bad
* Not Open Source.
* Uses XTEA encryption – not the most secure out there.
* When encrypting, passwords you enter are not hidden by default.
* The original source file is not deleted by default.
* You can’t add a ‘protected’ suffix.
* When extracting file contents, the passwords you enter are not hidden by default.
* You can’t extract file contents via standalone encrypted files.
* Standalone encrypted EXE adds on ~650 KB to the file size.
* The “Comment” box is placed very out of the way.
* If you hit “X” on the window where you enter password the password for encrypting, the file will start encrypting.
* You can’t chose where to place file once you encrypt it.
* You can’t chose where to place file once you extract contents of encrypted file.
* No context menu entry.
* Self extractor doesn’t work well with videos (Vista only?).
* If you try to extract more then one file at once, and the passwords are different of the files, you will get an error.
* Most e-mails will reject sending the standalone EXEs as attachments.
