Version: Chilkat ZIP 2 Secure EXE 1.0
Pros: Very easy to use. Very fast.
I'm pretty sure the secure mail I have to send will be safer than open text or an insecure office or winzip protected file (cracks are everywhere on the net).
Just chose my own password and sent the file. No visible messing with keys, or tokens.
Nothing for user at other end to have preinstalled on own machine. They just run the exe.
Cons: Doesn't do the whole thing. You create the zip yourself with another tool (Winzip for most people) and then the EXE from that. It won't direct zip and exe from a doc for instance.
I'll have to take their word for it on the encryption as I've no earthly way of checking it. Still - why wouldn't it be right. The required libraries are out there in software development languages and this an entirely good thing to do with them.
Mmmm. Just realised one bad thing. You just know the incoming EXE is going to get execution blocked on receipt by the receiving mail program and possibly even stripped out if your recipient is in a corporate!

Version: Chilkat ZIP 2 Secure EXE 1.0
Pros: Easy to deploy, but that is where the fun stops.
Cons: Software is buggy beyond belief. Support staff refuses to believe that bugs exist and offers no help (even though you supposedly have a year of support included).
Summary: Not a reliable product or company. Product works moderately in the test lab but fares POORLY out in the real world. read more
