Strengths: None. Not secure.
Weaknesses: No security whatsoever. Your data can easily be found and viewed.
Overall Evaluation: Horrible. This is putting people's data at risk when they are told it is secure. I found a comparable product for 1/2 the the price that is much more secure (InviziVault)

Strengths: None--it wouldn't install on Vista Home Premium
Weaknesses: Absolutely no support from the source--3 efforts to contact without response. The failed install has left dregs on my machine that can't be deleted and interfere with other software, e.g. System Mechanic. By "coincidence" the charge card I used had $900 of charges to a German software co. soon after.
Overall Evaluation: I would not suggest anyone deal with this program or its writers. PC World should take it off their site!

Strengths: Nice Interface. Simple instructions.
Weaknesses: Does not hide or encrypt files only alters XP settings. Files are found unaltered if you connect the hard drive to another computer.
Overall Evaluation: A complete farce.
