CryptoMite
$29 - BAxBEx Software

CryptoMite is a fast and very easy-to-use program which enables you to encrypt, decrypt, and wipe files and folders of any type. CryptoMite adds a context menu entry to all files, folders, and drives. This lets you encode/decode/wipe them with right-click ease.

CryptoMite supports building self-decrypting compressed exe-files, so you can send your encrypted files via email in a manner that allows the recipient to decrypt the files without having installed the program. All that is needed is the password used for the encryption; decrypting and decompressing engine is encapsulated inside the archive. CryptoMite is the first encryption software (and properly the only) which supports personal skins for encrypted exe-files (see   for examples). You even could build encrypted exe-files in several languages (German, Spain, Italien, Portugues, French, Swedish). To send encrypted emails quickly, CryptoMite supports MAPI and also includes an extensive SMTP-Client.

The integrated file shredder provides several secure wiping methods. After wiping files with CryptoMite the data will be lost forever and cannot be restored even with so called 'Undelete utilities'!

CryptoMite also includes some non-encryption security functions: Protects any exe-file with a password, hides folder and hides whole drives.

Drive Discovery
$34.95 - Notso Software Ltd.

Drive Discovery comprises three main program areas: Torch Bin - our recycle bin manager; Discovery Recovery ? file recovery / eradication software; and Drive Privateer ? our drive clean-up software. Taken together, our software gives users unrivalled control over their file contents.

Use Discovery Recovery to list all historically deleted but potentially recoverable files and data. Users have the discretion to selectively erase otherwise recoverable files to US government standards, as well as the ability to recover files that have been lost or deleted ? it even has a built in deleted file and image viewer.

In addition, Torch Bin radically extends recycle-bin functionality with its flexible integrated manager. Users can opt to wipe all files automatically when they?re sent for deletion, or alternatively choose to selectively eradicate (or recover) specified files. Again, there is a deleted file and image viewer, fast and convenient.

For those who prefer their drives regularly cleaned of all residual data traces, Drive Privateer is our fast and powerful hard disk clean-up utility. Privateer will erase all previously deleted (but otherwise recoverable) data. Uniquely, it can also clean underneath existing files, leaving them safe, intact and defragmented! A built in multi-drive capable scheduler allows overnight cleaning with auto-shutdown.

Drive Discovery recognizes and responds to everyone?s need to control what?s on their computers. This easy-to-use product offers a level of secure control over drive contents not previously available. Even after expiry of the 30 day trial, our recycle-bin manager will remain completely functional as a ?thank-you? for taking the time to download the software.
