General Software Discussion / Re: Tools for Password Protecting Files?

Just my 2 cents:
I have always had the feeling that AxCrypt was a quality piece of software (open source too), made by someone who knows what they are doing. The issue about leaving plaintext "residue" on your hard drive is really only of importance to a small subset of the people encrypting files (those who need to be absolutely certain that there is no trace of the original file left on their original pc). I'm starting a new post about his new version 2 which he recently announced was open to testers.
