- the following message is encrypted with "psychotic" algorithm
GNU and Commercial softwares may have their own advantage. Ofcourse my preferences would be with "best" rather then price. (common we all know the other way around with softwares). The statistics of the world interested in obtaining softwares does make some sense of how fool (we the end-users) are when softwares are tagged with $chicago$ (Dollars). - {|| µ vs $ || or || gnu vs $ ||} we == "winner" lol

- i'm not sure i would trust a product like this with my sensitive data. there is no information on how it actually works and no information on what hash algorithm is used, or how the key is derived from the password, the random number generator, etc etc.
i'd steer way clear of this and use either pgp desktop or truecrypt.

- AES 256-bit is not something I would rely on. I'm sure there is software out there already that can utilize Geforce 8 cards and quad-core processors, and crack your crap in a fair ammount of time. Proprietary encryption, or at least 512-bit cipher, or even compound ciphers would make this useful.
I'm no crypto expert, but I've haven't trusted AES (rjindael or whatever) for a while. I used to rely heavily on blowfish, and that became insecure, even at large bit sizes. AES has been around too long for me to trust it.
In the new version the powerful feature was added - Secure Storage. Secure Storage is the protected storehouse for sensitive data on your computer. Access to Secure Storage is protected by the password. The information on Secure Storage is encrypted by cryptographic algorithm Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit key length. AES is adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. government. AES algorithm with 256-bit key length is sufficient to protect classified information up to TOP SECRET level. Secure Storage is recommended for storage of especially important data, such as information about bank accounts, credit cards numbers, any passwords, confidential documents, e-mail messages, photos and many other sensitive data.
Also support Unicode was added. Now Folder Castle allows you to hide and encrypt files and folders, containing in its name characters in Unicode encoding (for example, the Japanese letters). Folder Castle 2.0 runs on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista and available immediately for $39.95 (USD). Licensed users get free technical support and product updates. Additional information on the product, as well as its free 15-day evaluation copy is available from www.magneticsoft.com.
