Abacre File Encryptor 1.0

If you were wondering why you need to encrypt your files, let me clear things up for you. Unprotected files can be accessed by anyone who has access to your computer. It could for example be someone who uses your computer – your significant other, a family member, a friend. To stop prying eyes from looking at your data, you need to protect it.

And this is where encryptors come in, like the Abacre-developed, the aptly named Abacre File Encryptor. This application will encrypt your files so that no one apart from you can access them. Just to put things in perspective, the application comes with some 39 advanced encryption algorithms.

You can encrypt a singe file, you can encrypt multiple files, or you can encrypt an entire folder. When you encrypt multiple files, you can choose to encrypt them into one single file or into individual files. And if storage space is an issue, you can also select to compress the encrypted files.

Once a file has been encrypted, there is only one way to gain access to it: the correct password has to be provided. When the correct password is provided, the encrypted file will be decrypted. You must make sure to select a properly good password that can offer an appropriate level of protection. Luckily for you, Abacre File Encryptor comes with a built-in Secure Password Generator – it suggests strong passwords.

Here comes the kicker: Abacre File Encryptor can also encrypt text. You can encrypt a piece of text, then send it via an IM application (like Yahoo! Messenger or Windows Live Messenger) or via email. And one more: Abacre File Encryptor can also securely delete files from your computer. It can ensure that no data recovery tool will bring back to life something you deleted.

If you would like to put Abacre File Encryptor to the test, you can download the application (download weighs in at around 1MB) and test it free of charge for a period of 30 days. The trial version is fully functional.
