Hi y'all

I need some encryption software to do file, folder and hard
drive encryption, with tools like TrueCrypt I can create only
encrypted drives, but I want to encrypt single files and folders
too, I have found some cool software at:

http://www.download.com/Alligator-Data-Guard/3000-2092_4-10857242.html

But it's for 20$! Is there any freeware or open source replacement?

Regards

Truecrypt will do more than whole drive encryption! For Folders, use
Truecrypt's "Container File". It will look like a virtual drive
instead of a folder but otherwise works the same.

For Files, try GPG. It's free and has pedigree. It's easiest when
used with a Windows front-end program like WinPT on GPGShell.

<http://www.gpg4win.org> (gpg + winpt)
<http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/index.html> (GPGShell).

HTH,

Do not crosspost and if you do, do so properly.
