Very good software with advanced features to protect your even from keyloggers. It can easily encrypt selected files & folders with the most secure crypto algorithms loke Blowfish, 3Des, Gost, RC2, Twofish etc... , as well as create strong password against any kind of brute force attacks uou may suffer.

The only problem is that if you lose the GAOTD key you need to buy a license or at least to use the trial version of the program in order to retrieve your sensitive data.

So for this kind of programs, my suggestion is to use FREEWARE and OPEN SOURCE software, most of which are as good as this GAOTD (or even better).

BEST FREEWARE ALTERNATIVES

* TrueCrypt

* Axcrypt
http://www.axantum.com/axcrypt/

* (Portable) SafeHouse Explorer (==> Great for memory sticks):

The free version can even allow you to use your USB device as a smartcard ==> COOL!!

* dsCrypt
Terrific tool against brute-force password attacks

* Toolwiz BSafe
Very effective and easy to use encryption app designed to protect your sensitive data in a very straightforward way: in short it creates a "virtual safe drive", using AES 256 encryption algorithm, which works just like a virtual drive once unlocked with the right password. Files within this "virtual safe drive" are instantly encrypted on-the-fly and when they are closed all virtual drives are instantly dismounted, leaving the "virtual safes" encrypted. So there is no way to retrieve your encrypted files & folders, unless you know the right passwords, of course. It also sports advanced protection options against hacking attacks, such as the ability to immediately burn all your inputted passwords in the RAM, so as to prevent any password hijacking attempt. Cool, isn't it??

* FreeOTFE Explorer
This is an awesome FREE highly PORTABLE disk encryption program for use with USB flash drives, enabling users to gain access on encrypted volumes even on Windows PC where this tool hasn’t been installed (i.e. in Internet Café). So it’s a perfect app for those people like me who love carrying their sensitive data securely on a USB drive or other removable media without any hassle. Cyphers include AES (256 bit), Twofish (256 bit), Serpent (256 bit) and even Blowfish (448 bit), a feature missing in most paid encryption software out there: COOL, isn’t it??

* ComeiTool
Impressive little tool designed to lock and sync your folders or USB drives, as well as scan IP addresses!!! It can only unlock folders on the same PC and in the same directory, meaning if a snooper has managed to copy your locked folder to another PC, that folder cannot be unlocked even using this software.

* Professional Data Security 1.0
Very COOL FREE APPLICATION which includes Encryption, Key Management and a multi-window editor for personal data in one single package.
This tool allows users to carry sensitive data (account numbers, login credentials, etc.) on their thumbdrive, without the risk to be stolen should their thumbdrive be lost.

* DiskCryptor
It offers encryption of all disk partitions, including the system partition, with AES-256 algorithm in LRW mode

My concern about such software is what will happen when the software accidently removed or when it expires after a year or so?
I use truecrypt and lastpass for these purposes. What will be the other features in this software?

As much as I appreciate the very principle of giveaways for non-vital software like graphics, music or video editors, maintenance etc. I consider, when it comes to encryption or secured backup, it very risky to rely on a program we can lose in a system crash, involuntary update etc. unless we have acknowledged and accepted that we might be literally FORCED one day into buying it to retrieve our data. Why not? But it is something that must be kept in mind.

Windows 7 Pro
Two comments:

1. The UI presumes a 100% DPI setting. If you are 65 or over, you likely are using a 125% DPI setting which will hide part of the UI, and will make it difficult to use the program.
2. The executable (PowerKey.exe) contains the comment "Powerkey is a handy memory optimizing tool that will keep your computer running faster and efficiently". That comment shows when you single-click the PowerKey icon on your desktop. This garbage is part of the TweakRAM executable, by the same software company. Rather messy.
