Cryptainer PE 2.4.5

CNET editors' review

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.
