Developer’s Description

By PC-Magic Software

Scramble filenames and encrypt your files with Blowfish.

CD-Lock provides excellent CD security by encrypting your files with Blowfish and scrambling the filenames. But unlike normal encrypted files, with CD-Lock you don't have to decrypt the files before you use them. Just enter your password when the CD is inserted and CD-Lock automatically unscrambles the filenames and decrypts the files, instantly behind the scenes, as you use them. Security only encryption can provide without the hassle. Version 7.03.2 has Vista update, minor improvements.

Had to give up and use a different product

Pros
On paper, CD-Lock seems great. Simple interface, fast, and with the added bonus (which I needed) of decrypting every file at once as opposed to individually when clicked on: good if you need to have say an exe load other files (external swfs, etc.).
Cons
Discs will unlock, working as advertised. But the only way to view the content is to right-click on the disc and select open. If you double-click on the disc, you're asked what program you want to use to open the "file." Unacceptable for clients.
Summary
Would have given this product more of a chance, but I was under a deadline, and the support from the company was singularly unhelpful. Lots of "Not sure" and "I don't know" without any requests for clarification that would have helped to narrow down the problem. Got the impression of a bored teenager on the other end of our email exchange.
PC Magic's service sucks around their CD-Lock product

Pros
Good "con"cept.
Cons
Extremely buggy product that would not work with my USB drive. Spent over 3 hours and numerous emails back and forth but they could not solve the problem. DO NOT BUY. Try open source based "True Crypt" instead that has recieved great reviews from others.
Summary
Probably okay for CD's but too slow for DVDs. XP Encryption probably faster

Pros
Scrambling of file names. Being (theoretically,) able to open file from disk.
Cons
Whichever way I used it with DVDs it was terribly slow. Much slower(for example) than zipping and encrypting with Stuffit. There are also problems with InCD and Nero. It crashed my system (twice)when I first tried using it with InCD, and told me my CD-Locked Nero file was already open, when it, quite palpably, was not.
Summary
Work just like it says.

Summary
I had only had one problem at first: the CD writing wizard on WinXP didn't want to work with this program at first. I restarted my computer and It hasn't given me a problem since. It does just what it says and makes it very simple.
Worth every DOLLAR!

Great program to store your documents and files while knowing that you don't have to worry if you drop it!
Excellent product and excellent tech support

Summary
Program works just great! But just as noteworthy is the author/tech support ... I had a seeming problem with CD-Lock (wouldn't start up, seeming after upgrade; gave me error message). Tech support acted immediately on my request for help and although it took several e-mails back and forth to solve the problem, there was no hesitation to help me fix what proved to be a problem on my computer! (caused by me). Thumbs up from me!!
A great product

Summary
It is reassuring to be able to put important but sensitive files and folders onto a CD-ROM that can then be stored safely offsite, knowing that the data on the CD-ROM cannot be read by anyone else. A great product!
Works as advertised
