BUGSMAN (I ZAP GERMS)  What does this do over and above TrueCrypt? TrueCrypt is free, and works brilliantly.

BLODWYN  I like the fact that FileWard works on individual files rather than requiring an encrypted container. For me this makes storing encrypted files on remote storage services like iDisk or Dropbox easier and with quicker upload/download times than with a container. If you wanted you could have a different password for each file, giving even greater security against password crack attacks.
