• MUCH NEWER version at VeraCrypt's site

  uriahheep98October 2, 2015

  Pros

  Works flawlessly on Windows 10.

  Cons

  Would prefer it be available from CNET.

  Summary

  This is a terrific replacement/continuance of TrueCrypt and works perfectly on Windows 10. HOWEVER, the authors have stated on their website that they prefer sites like CNET only supply a link, not the actual download. So, don't install this very much older version, but instead search for VeraCrypt's site and download directly. It installs and looks like TrueCrypt. You'll want to update your old TrueCrypt containers, though it has a backward compatibility feature to allow use of them. Note that the newer containers take longer to open now...a symptom of better encryption.

• Worked on Windows 10

  Mr Negative 99August 1, 2015

  Pros

  It worked on home version of windows 10 when others I had did not. Lots of older software is not working for me on windows 10 and the encryption programs I had were giving me the new Blue Screen of Death. Windows 10 home edition does not have working Bitlocker.

  Cons

  TrueCrypt like interface.

• Works great! Excellent replacement for TrueCrypt

  mschuchertJuly 17, 2015

  Pros

  Similar user interface as the now abandoned TrueCrypt. I was able to mount my TrueCrypt container with no problem. Fast & easy.

  Cons

  I haven't found any yet

  Summary

  VeraCrypt runs perfectly on my laptop. Windows 7 Pro. I only need a program to keep low level crooks from accessing my financial and personal files. There is a slight learning curve to it but I had already passed this with TrureCrypt. This is one on the biggest advantages of VeraCrypt. Once you are familiar with TC VeraCrypt is a cakewalk.

• does not work in Linux Mint 17 mate

  gyprat801March 5, 2015

  Pros

  works in Windows 7

  Cons

  does not work in Linux Mint 17 Mate

  Summary

  In Linux mint the front end does not work at all. Using terminal you can create a container but then you can not open the container. Tried installing it in two different ways but neither would work.
