USB Safeguard Encrypts Portable Flash Drives, Securely Deletes Files. Interesting program. I like it for use on a few files (like a dozen or so files) but entire drive encryption with this program is not the best solution for my needs. I use a thumb drive to keep photographs on it and with me at work. I downloaded the program, dragged it to my drive, clicked enter, entered my desired password, then selected the entire contents of my drive to be encrypted. After a half-hour it encrypted all my files and securely deleted/wiped the unencrypted copies still on the drive. (That is a nice feature!)

I was good to go! I would have to decrypt the entire drive in order to find the few files I wanted to use. For my situation I would need to know the file names, folder structures and the location of every file I have on my thumb drive. This program is much like a very secure zip or rar folder, not a mounted virtual drive like those created with TrueCrypt. Freebyte! - Your Guide to the Web.
