It's awesome. Others and I use it (its container feature) for sensitive
datas. It's popular and free (donations) too.

"Ant colonies are remarkably similar to cities. No one choreographs the
action, not even the queen ant, but ant behavior is controlled by swarm
logic--put 10,000 dumb ants together, and they become smart. They will
calculate the shortest routes to food supplies sniffing out pheromone
signals from other ants and Johnson says people do the same thing in
cities using low-level interactions of people on the street." --Alex

See replies to your SAME post that you separately MULTI-posted in other
newsgroups. Now you'll have to remember to which other newsgroups you
multi-posted and go check each of them for replies instead of
maintaining the discussion within a single cross-posted thread.

I've used it and its predecessors for over 10 years and never had a
problem with it nor have lost data due to system crashes. Caveat: I've
only used container files and not the "encrypt system drive" option.
It beats Windows EFS encryption as it is compatible with all versions
of Windows since XP (including Home versions) as well as Linux.

Great piece of software.
It's on my "Top-10" freeware list.
