Publisher's description
From Ashampoo :Encode files with sensitive contents so that instead of text and numbers they simply contain an incomprehensible mix of letters. The algorithm is so strong that it isnt possible for anyone to crack the code in a justifiable time period, even if they are able to draw on a very powerful computer. The security methodology isnt only effective against the many confirmed hackers in the internet, but also against the spy who might be lurking in your own office and secretly copying files during the lunch break: Decoding and encoding of selected files with only one mouse click. Complete deletion of files. Seamless integration in the Windows Explorer. The use of the latest encoding technologies Burning onto CD and DVD. Encoding and burning in only a single ste. Encoding and Email dispatch in only a single step. Encoding files to EXE archives and burning them directly onto CD or DVD. Encoding of files to self extracting archives for Email dispatch. Compression of the encoded files.
Version 2.01 adds new localizations including German, English (US), Englisch (GB), Arabian, Czech, Danish, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Slovak, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Bulgarian.

Version: Ashampoo Magical Security 2.01
Pros: A easy to use software, but "exe" function could confuse anyone. Ashampoo made good functionally software, but this time it's too simple.
Cons: A great mistake is the overexplicit icon you get when you secure a file or folder.
That icon really show everyone that here is some secret information. I think most people want a very discret icon for their secret information. Windows yellow folder icon should be better.

Version: Ashampoo Magical Security 2.01
Pros: After installing AMS you set up your password. Then, you simply click on the file you want encrypted; type in yur password; press GO and that's it. Your file shows up in explorer with its original name, but a different suffix so that you can quickly tell that it is an encrypted file.
To unencrypt the file you right click on the encrypted file; enter the password, and press GO. It really is that easy.
A nice feature is that when you are encrypting or unencrypting several files in one session it doesn't ask for the password each time. This makes your original setup (when you may be encrypting several files) very fast.
Cons: Not sure of any negatives. I carry encrypted files on my pen drive, and there is no way to unencrypt these files when using someone else's computer. A reasonabl work-a-round is to have a copy of AMS on the pen drive; install it on the host machine--do your work--and the uninstall it.
If Ashampoo could fix this I would rate it as 5-stars/
