A question that begs asking is what encryption methods does this offer? An encryption software vendor that is afraid to disclose the encryption methods used implies it is a weak easily crackable method and they are banking on security through obscurity, which is what microsoft use when they build NSA back door bugs into all the versions of windows, which we know is no security at all, I've looked at their pro page and the freeware version of this product and read the description above and there is no mention of what algorithim is used, not even in the sceeenshots!

First let me start by saying that if the main reason for downloading this software here and today, is because it is free, Don't.
It is free for as long as you do not reinstall windows, do not have any issues with the program etc'
Secondly, and this is a tip for people that try to install more than one of such File/Folder password protection tool on the same comuter, Don't. These tools have the tendency to have conflicts with one another
Thirdly, if you have to have such a tool, be smart and use a free one. Such as SecretFolder

A word of warning, there is a clue to a weakness in this products password control... "password protection using Windows kernel level security. "

That basically means it relies upon its own kernel driver to add on custom access controls to the filesystem. That means if you bypass that kernel driver by booting a WinPE or linux LiveCD or take the so called secured drive to a different machine the password access control or folder hiding will be non-existant.

Obviously if the contents are encrypted as well then they will remain encrypted but if not then the files will be freely accessible without the need for a pasword.

For software like this I believe a FREE program is better choice.

Personally I use this app which has many advanced features usually found in paid software:

http://download.cnet.com/Advanced-File-Encryption-Pro/3000-2092_4-75755645.html

It uses up to 8192-bit symmetric key encryption to password protect in batch your private files & folders.
Best of all you're not limited to a single file per process, since you have the possibility to drag as many files and folders as you like over the main window.
An abundance of algorithms, key generators, cipher modes and padding scheme are available, like SHA, Tiger, Whirlpool, MD, AES, Blowfish, PKCS7 or ZeroByte.
To protect your files & folders you can add a password, pick a file to act as a key, or even plug in a USB device in the same regard for even greater security.
Amazing app.
