Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 3.0.0.35 build 1.0.0.44
"VIRUS!!! Setup.exe infected with Win32.Joiner.dw"
Pros: Setup.msi is clean and may run fine for non-Vista/Windows7 users.
Cons: Setup.exe is infected with Win32.Joiner.dw VIRUS according to VirusTotal dot com which scans with no less than 41 separate anti-virus programs.
Summary: If you've got XP or less, extract only the setup.MSI and run that; maybe it will work for you. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE run setup.EXE as it will infect your system with the Win32.Joiner.dw VIRUS which I haven't even been able to figure out how ... read more >>
