Personally, I think a program such as this and encryption in
general are way beyond the needs of home users. These
newsgroups are littered with posts asking how to gain access to
encrypted files. As soon as the average users starts messing
around with encryption they might as well kiss their files
good-bye.

You're on your own.

Yes, I meant this program. Many users and specialists criticized this
utility and noticed that it have a hang up issue, which could result in lost
data if the user doesn't have a backup. There is better encryption programs,
however (third party) .
