"Truecrypt" if ter's no in-built option but U need to learn to use it or U may/can loose everything. Even crackers recommed it ;-)

I use that U3 software from Sandisk for my USB drive. it wasn't inbuilt but I downloaded it. Works just fine (more due to my hack-proof password choosing abilities). But this software only works for Sandisk USB drives.

I also have used true crypt..It worked perfectly for few months,then it stared showing up some bugs, I don't know why, I reported my problem to the vendor but didn't received any response so I decided to switch over something more secure and more reliable than true crypt and found Folder Lock...I have used its each and every feature... Its been 7 months using this software and i haven't faced any bug.

What I dont like about folder lock is, its insistence on protecting files stored in one location, aka the locker. In my comp, I use Universal Shield.

I dont know its mechanism of saving files,,,the only thing I like is that it secures the data and no one gets any chance to sneak in to it, thats why I like Folder Lock.

Yeah, you got some great abilities there!


wait...what if I put a gun onto your forehead? Do you have any abilities for such situation? :D

TrueCrypt has a wonderful option for creating hidden containers!

Dude, have you every tried anything other than Folder Lock? The way you are supporting it, it seems to me that you are yet to see some more softwares!

BTW has anyone used Cryptainer(mobile edition, for pen drives, etc!)

^^ I did, not the mobile one, but the one for windows. it's the same concept of folder lock - throw in all your files in one folder, and its locked and encrypted.

I too downloaded it, but I found it too tedious!
I am using *www.androsasoft.net/ instead.

I've used file lock,true crypt, lock folder xp, the note pad technique and many other,,,have you used any other than cryptainer... I found Folder lock more secure than those I mentioned above...I use it to secure my data on cds and dvds also...none of the above softwares offers full portabilty but Folder Lock do...have you ever tried this software..

Yes, and quite frankly, it sucks. I've seen and used superior(imho) software.

and BTW, I'd really love to see a post of yours that doesnt contain the word "Folder Lock", or isnt about it.

Tried "hidden encryption" in a encrypted container in "Truecrypt" ??, nobody will even know it exists. :p

when I tried to lock an hide my files with true crypt, it did lock the files but they were not hidden, I tried this process several times and faced the same bug, same problem faced with lock folder xp.

It isn't the way you are thinking...I am only discussing about aan application which I find really very helpful for me.

Oooh! How come doc's got a gun?:D:D:D In any case, the password dies with me!!! :twisted: BWAHAHAHAHAHA...
Nah, I meant to say my passwords are something no one in the world can guess. And I doubt if most of the password cracking softwares ever will.

@Kenneth

I didnt clearly understand what U said.

Best way to do is not to encrypt a "existing parition/drive" but a new one in PC. For USB, don't encrypt the whole of it (incase something goes wrong U wont able to access it) but make a "encrypted container" in it.

To add, What U said/want cannot be called a "bug" , just read a little more of the manual and save the "volume header" if U are worried ;-)

but I m still not satisfied with true crypt,,,its features are limited,,as the security threats are increasing , I think truecrypt wont wok well. I dont care whether I have to buy something which is really useful for me like Folder Lock. People who are using true crypyt and other application I would recommend them to give a try to Folder Lock and they'll see the difference themselves.

Read the "manual" again, boy.

What U want to use is your choice just don't make it look-like its the best ;-)
