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.
