Every piece of software on here has a freeware alternative and is sometimes better. I prefer TrueCrypt, thanks GAOTD but no thanks.

Microsoft Private Folder (which is now discontinued and can no longer be downloaded) can’t touch TrueCrypt. Anyone with even a modicum of computer knowledge can easily see and manipulate the files/folders inside MSPF.

MSPF is better suited to store some n00bs pr0n collection and if anyone discovered it, it doesn’t really matter anyway. TrueCrypt is a superior strength open source encryption program for those of us who actually have something worth hiding.

Thanks GAOTD, but I’ll be passing on Uconomix. With a much superior free program like TrueCrypt around, it’s just not necessary. Especially when any similar closed source software, such as Uconomix, could easily have a backdoor in it and you could never really tell.

I turned my firewall off and I am still unable to activate the software. This is probably the 4th or 5th piece of software that I have attempted to activate from GGAOTD and GAOTD. I see no need in coming here if I cannot activate the programs. Am I the only one with this problem?

Sorry Uconomix Technologies as you can see by the other members response, your program is lacking in several areas and other programs have been listed that produce better results than yours.

Thanks GAOTD for trying to bring a variety of software.

Big thumbs down!!

@44 Glad you mentioned http://www.hotpixel.net/software.html
Blowfish Advanced CS works great on computers without administrative rights (unlike TrueCrypt) and is easy to use (you MUST read the manual when using truecrypt). Also, if you just want to send some files via email or encrypt a folder or two, TrueCrypt is really over-kill, and Blowfish Advanced CS makes it easier.

#53: That is what they tell you (The child pornography part), but in the mean time we’re loosing more and more of our privacy to these so called investigators. I’d challenge their demand for my encryption keys for any court, and uhm… really private email is encrypted here, unencrypted mail is plain text, and anyone can intercept and read that (BTW: including your passwords usually.) And that is where encryption programs are for; if you want to shield folders from prying eyes, you better shield your entire hard disk, there might be traces of temporary files outside the encrypted folders that would give the contents away…

@51: Richard, and where please would you keep those? In a bank vault… they would give them the keys without even hesitating if a proper suppoena is delivered to their doorstep; so where then? At home? That would make the whole encryption process superfluous, since they would find the unencrypted backup while searching your home for evidence. Security and privacy aren’t that easy, unfortunately!

The ACTUAL site for http://www.truecrypt.com is of course http://www.truecrypt.org and deniablity of a hidden volume is useful in some European countries where it is an offence to not supply the legal authorities with your password when asked – (it is to stop child pornography so it is understandable).

(Been following GOTD for some time, but this is my first comment …)

I second the comment by #8 above. I have been using TrueCrypt for some time. It is a very slick, elegant solution to encrypting your files. It works perfectly — never a single problem with it. And it’s always free.

Nice software.

I suggest before installation of this software create a backup of the HDD, and keeping regular backups of the HDD while using any drive/file encryption software. One of the best ways to encrypt your data is to KEEP All data except Windows OS on a seperate external drive.
