Editor's review of Kruptos 2 3

- "Kruptos for encryption"
- Version reviewed: Kruptos 2 3
This is easily one of the more useful freeware file encryption programs we've found, and the latest version fixes a few minor bugs. Kruptos 2's file menu and icon interface is the picture of simplicity. Encryption is almost effortless. You can drag and drop files to the Kruptos 2 window, and the latest version adds support for dragging and dropping folders.
The encryption algorithm is Blowfish 128-bit, and fast. A key feature obfuscates file names but leaves folder names unaltered. The program offers a feature to see original file names with the proper password, but it is invoked one file at a time. However, Windows integration means you can perform all functions from your context menu.
Unlike many similar programs, files in nested folders are all quickly encrypted as individual files. With a single click you can decrypt a file and edit it, and the file re-encrypts on close. Self-extracting encrypted files are created with a minimum of fuss. The Shred function deletes original files to DOD standards. The program does offer a nag screen for donations, but only once. Kruptos2, with all its features, is what every user needing simple file encryption desires.

Version: Kruptos 2 3
"Appeared good but then it all went wrong. Beware."
Pros: If working well I agree it would be an awesome product.
Cons: Unfortunately it fails do decrypt any video, mpg or other media files. I am running VISTA so I suggest you do not load it onto a VISTA platform yet. I have been unable to retrieve 3/4 of my files. The shredder is unpredictable. It doesn't integrate into the VISTA system properly so right click doesn't always work. so for me its a 1/5.
