Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This program offers a much more convenient interface than most encryption utilities, by acting as a virtual drive you can place anywhere on your PC. You can access encrypted drives and perform operations, such as copying, transferring, and compressing files from within any application. Also, Cryptainer LE makes it easy to hide all your sensitive information by letting you remove the virtual drive with a single click. You can run the application on any 32-bit Windows system or network with the assurance that its 128-bit Blowfish encryption will keep your data safe. Since the program lets you create self-decrypting executable files, you can send secure documents to anyone, even if that person doesn't have Cryptainer LE installed. The application didn't slow our system's performance during testing, though the free version creates volumes of up to only 25MB, which is still enough for working with office documents. If you can't exert much energy on file security, you'll find Cryptainer LE the perfect tool.Publisher's description
From Cypherix :Cryptainer LE encrypts any file or folder on any media on any Windows PC. This free, 128-bit, disk-encryption software encrypts and password-protects any type of data. You can encrypt and secure your data on removable drives, flash disks, CD-ROMs, or any external drive, including USB and pen. Cryptainer LE creates encrypted vaults that can be accessed only with a password, within which you can store any kind of data. Once mounted, the volume behaves as a standard Windows drive. When unloaded, the data is rendered totally inaccessible by anyone but the person with the key. All your data is encrypted at an astonishingly high speed. Cryptainer LE combines ease of use and simple drag-and-drop operations. The program also lets you create secure e-mail files you can send to anyone. Cryptainer LE ensures complete security for your data with no learning curve; absolutely anyone can use it effectively.
Version 6.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: Cryptainer LE 6.1
Pros: Nothing better than what they said about the software "creates a volume (vault) that can only be accessed with a password. This volume stores files in the encrypted form. Once mounted, the Cryptainer drive is like any other drive you normally work with"

Version: Cryptainer LE 6.1
"It doesn't live up to TrueCrypt 4.2 (which is also free!)"
Cons: If you liked this, you really missed out. You should have downloaded TrueCrypt 4.2!
