While this program is not officially Vista supported, it ran fine on Home Premium 32-bit. I only ran into one problem which I mentioned in my full review.

The Good
* Nice clean and easy to use interface.
* Creates self executable/standalone encrypted files.
* Encrypted files re-encrypt themselves after use.
* You get to chose if you want to save/delete executables or original files.
* Drag + Drop.
* Can encrypt multiple files at once.
* You can password protect File Defender.
* Uses XTEA encryption - light on resources for slower/older computers.

The Bad
* Not Open Source.
* Uses XTEA encryption - not the most secure out there.
* When encrypting, passwords you enter are not hidden by default.
* The original source file is not deleted by default.
* You can't add a 'protected' suffix.
* When extracting file contents, the passwords you enter are not hidden by default.
* You can't extract file contents via standalone encrypted files.
* Standalone encrypted EXE adds on ~650 KB to the file size.
* The "Comment" box is placed very out of the way.
* If you hit "X" on the window where you enter password the password for encrypting, the file will start encrypting.
* You can't chose where to place file once you encrypt it.
* You can't chose where to place file once you extract contents of encrypted file.
* No context menu entry.
* Self extractor doesn't work well with videos (Vista only?)
* If you try to extract more then file at once, and the passwords are different of the files, you will get an error.

Spikey: "A big worry for me about this download is, what would happen if you had to do a re format?"

It would have been good if you actually read the few lines of information before spreading doubt.

"The software creates encrypted executables, thus removing the need for the software to decrypt files on other computers."

So even if you loose the program you can still decrypt your files as long as you got the password.

Installs, activates, and runs fine on Windows7 x64. Nice aero-like interface.

If you're confused after reading the blurb, like I was, what this program does is make an encrypted copy of files, and the encrypted copies are saved as exe files. And they are saved to the same location as the original files. There's no option to make the program save them to a different location. By default, when you type in the password, the password is not displayed as asterisks, but you can change this in View -> Settings.

Sheesh...the activate file is not connecting with GOTD. Anyone else experiencing this?

Running the program in demo mode right now. Does what it says just fine. Fairly large overhead on a small text file. Turned a 2K file into a 672K file.
