Zero Footprint Crypt for Windows

User Reviews

• Just a waste of time

  olorouJuly 22, 2011

  Pros

  If there were, I should write them down.

  Cons

  One shouldn't take away something that one cannot give back, such as one's time.

  Summary

  My system runs on windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. I installed the program and began to test it. Created a folder on the desktop. Pasted in this folder a text file and a jpg file. Navigated to this folder through the navigation panel inside the ZFC interface. The text file was not visible. The program's built-in viewer previewed the image file. Attempting to encrypt the file through the menu option and the toolbar icon gave back an error message that no item was selected. Didn't expect such a thing on Cnet.

• Easy and quick encryption.

  Pros

  Very easy to use, even for novices.

  Cons

  After encrypting and then closing the program, when you re-open it should NOT go straight to the folder or files that you want to keep private. But it's not a difficult solution. Just go to a root directory and encrypt, decrypt a standard file.

  Summary

  Great program for home users!

• Good Encryption

  Pros

  The keys are very adequate for light protection.

  Cons

  File selection is very awkard I think a kindergardner could have done better.

  Summary

  If you don't mind the hassle of the file selection not a bad product.

  Pros

  It's realy easy to use software and has a good encryption power. Also tells you your encryption passwords strengt.

  Cons

  Someone with a lot of experience (cracker) can easily crack the codes. Finecrypt however has an encryptionkey thats much harder to crack.

• Absolutely Great

  riki_fandozoMay 16, 2005

  Pros

  This is the easiest application for encryption that I have used. Absolutely great user interface and general feel. It is fast secure and does what it says. <p> <p>I have passed the application thru 4 different spyware and antivirus applications and found it to be 100% clean. <p> <p>If you need strong encrpytion and you need it for free, this is the application for you.

• Good BUT...

  October 26, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  I have to say that this is one of the useful encryption software that I have used recently. It might even stand up against some of the other encryption software out there on the retailer's shelves. As for the "BUT...", there is one thing that I'm quite unsure of this program... every time the software is launch it automatically initiate another application that it creates by itself in your profile's "local settings"' "Temp" folder (\Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Temp). The application is called "GLB1A2B.exe". There's no use deleting it because it will just recreate itself once "ZeroFootprint Crypts" is launch. According to my Norton AntiVirus and other Adware-Spyware Remover program (including the recent Yahoo! Anti-Spy software), "GLB1A2B.exe" is considered a TROJAN and should be removal IMMEDIATELY! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
