CNET Editors' review
CryptoExpert Profressional is another entry in the saturated file encryption market. Despite several visits to its Help file, we still had problems navigating its confusing user interface.
The program can be accessed from a Taskbar icon. The user interface has large command buttons at the top of the window that appeared easy enough to understand, but after further inspection, we found them unhelpful in telling us what to do next. A tree-menu containing all of your folders resides on the far left. But the function of the other two panels was a little unclear. We visited the Help file, but it didn't offer a clear explanation. Clicking on the New button walked us through the process of creating an encryption container, and we appreciated the four encryption and two hash modes. But once we created the container, we weren't sure where to go next. There were options to mount and unmount the container, but like the rest of the interface, the onscreen guidance isn't adequate. A subsequent visit to the Help menu didn't offer any kind of useful explanation.
Both novice and experienced users will find this encryption program too cumbersome to handle, even with a 30-day trial. We recommend you skip it for a program that offers a less haphazard user interface.
Publisher's Description
From InterCrypto:
CryptoExpert uses a real-time on-the-fly encryption system to encrypt and decrypt data. Your files are stored in the encrypted form on virtual hard drive with password authentication, but when it is requested by any application, it gets decrypted on-the-fly. Conversely, unencrypted data to be stored is encrypted instantaneously and then stored. The CryptoExpert system mounts a volume file to create a "virtual drive" that appears to applications and users like any other physical drive. Any data that the user attempts to write to this drive is intercepted by CryptoExpert, encrypted, and written to the volume file. Attempts to read from this volume are also intercepted, and the relevant data is read by CryptoExpert from the volume file, decrypted, and presented to the application trying to read the data.

"Very confusing and very buggy; help file very unhelpful"
Version: CryptoExpert Professional 7.14
Pros
None. Sounds very promising but is very disappointing
Cons
Confusing, cluttered user interface. Even after creating encrypted file container, and mounting it, you get an error message saying it is not mounted. Then when you try to open the interface, it says it is already running but is invisible!!

"This is just what I need! &the light version is 4 free!"
Version: CryptoExpert Professional 7.10.01
Pros
I'm using the light version. It's just can handle 50MB "disks", but hey, for your classified documents is more than enough! This programs do what it's must do, never crashed, easy to use. You can configure hotkeys to use more easier. Recommended!
Cons
None (truly!)
Summary
Try it, and if 50MB is not enough for you, buy it!

"Security with Reliability"
Version: CryptoExpert Professional 7.61
-
"The Best"
Version: CryptoExpert Professional 7.6
Pros
It is fast and reliable. I have never lost data in over a year of using CryptoExpert.
-
"Difficult to work with!"
Version: CryptoExpert Professional 7.0.8
Pros
i found nothing about this application good. This might be good for someone with serious technical skills or someone who runs a business but not for the average home user.
Cons
When it comes to ease of use there is no other "virtual drive" software like "Returnil Virtual System", and it has a free version that works great. Couple this with the fact that this application sells for $59.95, has a poor poor GUI and it's unfriendliness when it comes to the user, I can't recommend this application.

"This program does not work in Vista, at least"
Version: CryptoExpert Professional 7.0.7
Pros
There is nothing to like, I can't mount drive because the process to do so requires one to "cancel"
Cons
Maybe they'll get their stuff together and it will work. By the way, check out the numerous typos in writeup and the program alike. These folks are real professionals - NOT!
