FileBarricader 2007 is primarily a file encryption utility.FileBarricader 2007 Features: - Includes only the best encryption algorithm: Rijndael (AES); - Includes only the best encryption strength setting: 256 bit; - Provides secure file deletion, making recovery of deleted files impossible; - Provides the ability to create self decrypting .exe files that can be sent to any computer. Version 3 added integration support for FileBarricader 2007 Mobile.
It didn't catch my PC on fire. I guess that's good.
Cons
Encrypted about half the files I specified (I tried it twice). Seems to like Word Documents, but good luck with pdf's or anything else.
Summary
Stay away from this one. Stay far away. I installed this thinking it was an upgrade to the 2004 version (which works just fine, by the way). It's not. They are two completely seperate apps. I attempted to encrypt my files with 2007 and it got to about half of them. Then I went to decrypt them and the app locked up. I tried the standard steps (rebooting, reinstalling the app, etc.), but nothing worked. I couldn't decrypt these files (I even tried decrypting them with the 2004 version, but that wouldn't because they're two different apps.). I acutally had to do a system restore to get these files back. Just for the heck of it, I checked out their site (mysoco.com) for support. I'm pretty sure that site is shut down. I also sent an email to their support (support@mysoco.com) and it bounced back. Stay away from this app. It does more harm than good.
I can't decrypt the file.

unable to decrypt the file.
Summary
Doesn't work for me with Vista. Website forum link simply goes to main page - where there isn't even mention of filebarricader.
Great Software. Better Than 2004.

Can't Decrypt

Pros
It looks nice and the interface is easy enough
Cons
I can't decrypt anything. I checked the website FAQ and nothing there. The only option I came across was to send the file and password to their support team and let them look at it, well that's not gonna happen. Just go back to the 2004 version untill they work the bugs out.

<p>I know the AES is the best but there should be other choices just to have the option.
Summary
Why does it need Admin rights to install? Just Encrypt.
