We at Lifetime Upgrades installed Kyrcrypt 0.16 on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system and found it to be very easy to use and very fast. We were pleased with the interface as well as the options permitted. This author made this software very useful and we expect many great versions to come. We believe you will like this one too. Just remember, if you like it and think it is useful, please consider donating.

Version 0.16 reviewed on: Jul 13 2011Publisher's description
Encrypt/decrypt files or entire directories, manually or scheduled with KyrCrypt.
KyrCrypt is donationware created by DonationCoder.com member kyrathaba. Its function is to encrypt/decrypt individual files or entire directories of files using 168-bit TripleDES encryption (triple Data Encryption Algorithm). It offers an optional virtual keyboard for entering passwords with the mouse or touchpad, so that the actual computer keyboard doesn't have to be utilized for this purpose, thereby negating the threat of keyloggers.
Authored in early 2011, KyrCrypt was written in C# against the .NET Framework version 4.0. The development machine was a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit, with 4 Gb of RAM. The software has not been tested by the author against earlier versions of Windows, but should run okay on Windows Vista and Windows XP.
The program has not been ported to other operating systems.
The process to encrypt is as follows:
First. Load into KyrCrypt the file of your choice.
Second. You will be asked to enter a password.
Third. Wait for the processing and then choose the location of the destination file.
Simple and easy.
Please consider donating to the developer if you find this software appliation useful. Any donations will maintain its development.
