MagneticSoft today announced the immediate availability of Folder Castle 2.0, a security tool that hides and encrypts files and folders on the computer. The program runs natively on Windows Vista, making the switch to the newer OS easy to do. The program is very easy to use for any users. You will need no more than couple of minutes to install and start using Folder Castle.
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.

Get on the ball NeoWin!
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 $chicago$
i'd steer way clear of this and use either pgp desktop or truecrypt.
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.
