TurboCrypt Disk Encryption for Windows

Used TurboCrypt Disk Encryption for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffAugust 20, 2015

This disk-encryption utility stands as a convenient and excellent way to lock down your data from prying eyes. Since Windows sees TurboCrypt Disk Encryption as just another drive, you can add files to your encryption archive from any application via a simple right click, a nice time-saving feature. In case of danger, you can lock all your encrypted drives with two clicks, although we wish you could hide it via a hot key. The program offers you several ways to wipe any file beyond recovery and also gives you a tool for cleaning your PC's free drive space. In our tests, TurboCrypt Disk Encryption swiftly did its job and didn't hinder normal computer tasks or PC performance in the least. However, we should note that the trial version will only let you encrypt 256MB of data, which is somewhat restrictive but still pretty fair. Since this program is easy to use and very secure, we think it will appeal to a wide range of users.

Use Bestcrypt instead

Pros
I have tried them all, and now I have been using Bestcrypt to protect my data. They have a very good customer service and the system is flawless.
Cons

Pros
Review looked good, product sounded interesting, pdf descriptioins on website were fascinating...
Cons
but, website isn't taking orders, phone number disconnected and e-mail bounced back. I'm product testing for a customer and for ease of use and minimal impact, this sounded like it would have been a winner.

Beware

Pros
Easy to use.
Cons
Beware of Turbocrypt. I purchased it to protect my sensitive files in case my computer should be stolen. The Turbocrypt Registration Key will only allow Turbocrypt to run on the initial computer that the software is installed on. In other words, if your existing computer breaks, is stolen or you simple decide to upgrade to a new computer, you will have to purchase Turbocrypt again. After purchasing Turbocrypt, I called and asked how to get Turbocrypt to install on a new computer in the event my existing computer is stolen. The answer I received was that I would have to purchase Turbocrypt again. They do not advertise this, but you should know it before you buy

Pros
Very easy to create an encrypted volume with a diverse set of encryption algorithms and hash algorithms. Traveller disk setup makes encryption and access to a USB drive or CD very easy.
Cons
Nothing

Summary
When i first installed this program, everything was working fine, i was able to create "virtual drives" as the program claims, but had some stability issues. The true quality of this program became apparent when i attempted to delete the shortcuts within the "recent files" folder in windos. Instead of deleting the shortcuts, it seeked out and permanantly deleted over 200 of my most recently used files. As a reasult over 100 hours of my time was lost. NEVER INSTAL OR DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM!!!
Very effective tool

Summary
I found this program to be very easy to use, and very effective. This may prove especially useful to those of you with parents, siblings, or roommates with prying eyes... This would also work well with those of you who simply share a common PC with several people.
Great software
