Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
Though we could have done without the product pushes, this comprehensive file encryption program left our files safe and secure.
MyWinLocker has a professionally designed user interface, but there's some wasted space thanks to the product advertisements. However, aside from those, we found the tab-style fairly easy to navigate. The encryption feature can be accessed several ways--through the main interface, by right-clicking on a specific file or folder, or through Windows Explorer. We like the option to use our master password or create a new one to encrypt the file. Test files were easily and successfully created, and we were able to decrypt them just as easily. As an added bonus, the program also features a personal storage disk option that lets you privately store your files. Novices will appreciate the ease of setting it up. And like the encryption and decryption features, we were able to quickly access it through the main interface or through our Windows Explorer.
The program did leave behind a few files that had to be manually removed after it was uninstalled. The ads on the interface are a small price to pay for this effective freeware, and we recommend for all users.

"It's quite handy and very easy to use."
Version: MyWinLocker 3.0
Pros
the vista sidebar gadget works well, it's very convenient everytime when I want to open my encrypted files to read, or encrypt my company data. The hidden secured disk performs well too.
Cons
It will be better if there could be more encypted methods to select comparing to the consumed time or security.
Summary
so far it's quite ok.

It's the simplest tool that I've found. I can easily encrypt my files or folders from right click menu, windows explorer, or application interface. Right click menu is the most convenient 'cause no need to invoke the entire program.
Cons
So far so good.
Summary
Easy to use.

"Cool, light, and easy to use"
Version: MyWinLocker 3.0
Pros
There are plenty of similar security products on the markets. Everytime when I see them, I'm always thinking why it cannot be more user friendly, more convenient, and with more integrated features. This light tool, MyWinLocker, may be a good choice. It blends several useful features(AES file encryption,secure disk, password manager, desktop search security, etc) and very friendly interfaces to the users.
Just try it.
