  scootintikiJune 4, 2017

  Pros

  Works for 14 days.

  Cons

  works for 14 days.

  Summary

  After 14 days NCH Software demands $29.99! Otherwise you cannot unlock your files. Deceptive! I did not see this in the description of the program.

• Excellent encryption utility.

  vheeswijkOctober 15, 2011

  Pros

  This program also accepts command-line parameters.

  Cons

  No shortcomings found.

  Summary

  This program also accepts command-line parameters. Few encryption utilities do that. So, I have integrated this program in the WinCommander menu. Recommended also for WinCommander users.

• Simple, free, amazingly tiny software that works

  Jade_HDecember 8, 2010

  Pros

  It's so straightforward that it's hard to make a mistake. Really fast. Clean download and install. Can encrypt files and folders, all file types.

  Cons

  This software could use: A file shredder to optionally wipe the encrypted file immediately, but there are other tiny freeware for that. Still 5 stars. Optional password hint. I'm still not taking down a star because I love the small size (328 Kb!!!)

  Summary

  This software absolutely DOES NOT 1. hide your folders/files so that even you might forget on which USB flash disk you stored your file in cos you can't see it, 2. rename your file into gibberish so that you'll have to constantly decrypt everything to see which file you need. You have the option to rename your output file. 3. create a mind boggling secret partition 4. ask you to specify advanced settings and other geeky stuff that ordinary mortals don't understand anyway. There are just 2 options that are clearly explained: fast but not strong, or slow but strong encryption. 5. require you to make a key file that you'll lose forever if you lose your flash disk or if it becomes damaged that you have to reformat. You can create a self decrypting file. This software is amazingly small and simple for the average non-techie.

• TRY IT. YOU CAN'T BEAT IT.

  GATOR-HATERFebruary 5, 2009

  Pros

  Does just what it claims it will. Does it quickly and is a fine product for all levels of users.

  Cons

  No complaints.

  Summary

  If simple is better, and I think it usually is, then this is one of the best. Whether encrypting or decrypting, this software has always worked quickly and flawlessly for me. While the interface may not be fancy, it is intuitive. I do believe if you bought your first pc this morning, you could be a master of this program by noon. It is certainly the only encryption software I'll ever need.

• Probably the best encryption app around.

  iC-HitmanJanuary 27, 2009

  Pros

  First its free, it easly locks any files or folders that you want. The file it converts the lock one to is an meo type file, which most users wont know what it is so they wont try to access it, plus they wont know your password. Works with Vista.

  Cons

  It can sometimes take a while to unpack a folder or to lock it...but some of the ones I was locking were 50mb+. At the moment this is the only con that I can find,

  Summary

  I like this because for a good long time I was looking for a decent encryption application and it had to be free. This is free and does its job easily and without problems. I would definitly try this if you dont want to spend money on some of the applications out there as it does exactley what you need from it.

• Excellent encryption program.

  SaharaGnomeDecember 23, 2008

  Pros

  The program is easy to install, compatible with Vista, and allows for files to be passworded and sent to others who know the password. Adding files or adding folders options are a deff plus.

  Cons

  Not able to drag-and-drop files into the queue.

  Summary

  I have already reccomended this program to three people. I will be using this program for some time, and look forward to new releases.

  Excellent utility Easy to use Allows for Self Decryption option to send encrypted files via e-mail to a recipient who knows the password, but does not need an encryption/decryption program to get at the info. Able to encrypt files and folders FREE

  Excellent, easy and quick encryption/decryption of files and folders, MEO is well suited for the average user who just needs an encryption software for casual use.
