Sensitive data should not be kept unprotected, especially if you share a computer with other users. MEO Encryption Software offers a simple, but highly effective solution. It allows you to encrypt your files, as the name clearly points out, using the Blowfish or Des encryption protocol. Files can be encrypted in a few seconds, without any effort and decrypting them is just as easy.

If you intend to use MEO Encryption Software at home, for personal purposes, then you don't have to pay for it. The application is available for Windows and Mac OS X platforms. It can be installed in a few moments, without making any complex settings along the way. Also, you don't have to sacrifice too many resources or meet any special requirements.

MEO Encryption Software comes with a compact user interface, which presents three options, for encrypting files, decrypting them and for sending encrypted emails. Encrypting files is a three-step process. First, you have to target one or more files, by adding them to a list, after which you have to make a few output settings and specify a password. Encrypted data is stored as a single file. To decrypt your data, you only need to select the aforementioned file and type your password. Once your files are decrypted, the application will offer to decompress the files.

The output configurations involve selecting an output folder and an encryption algorithm. Additionally, you may tick two options, if you wish to compress the files before encrypting them and if you want to create a self-decrypting file. If you send a self-decrypting file to your contacts, they will be able to decrypt and extract the files, without installing MEO Encryption Software on their computers.

The possibility of sending encrypted emails is another advantage of MEO Encryption Software. You can compose an email, attach files and specify the recipient and subject on a small window. The application will send your emails using your default email client. The appropriate MAPI or SMTP settings can be made in the general Options menu.

Pros

You can encrypt a large amount of data and store it as a single file. The application is capable of creating self-decrypting files, which can be unpacked on any computer. It is also possible to create and send encrypted emails.

Cons

You need to have an email client installed on your computer, if you wish to send encrypted emails. If you want to secure your personal files without any effort, MEO Encryption Software is the solution you are looking for.
