[Anonymous] DexWhen I encrypted/decrypted folder on HDD it happened that all files in it have changed timestamps to present time/date!? Very bad behavior for me, negative vote :( [2007-06-05 02:16]

[Anonymous] CD2100I tried both Remora products. (i can't recall which version) but I had difficulty in getting either of them to work consistently. Unfortunate as I had such high hopes for them. [2008-11-19 14:43]

[Anonymous] ManoloMuchas gracias [2008-12-03 17:02]

[Anonymous] MGYipes! Permanently changed all timestamps on encrypted files. Upon decrypting files, timestamps still changed. Not good...not good at all. [2009-02-24 08:18]

[Anonymous] TedFreeOTFE Explorer (http://www.FreeOTFE.org/) is a lot better than this - it looks better, works better, has a lot more functionality - and is open source!

FreeOTFE also another option, which creates a virtual drive and encrypts/decrypts data on-the-fly, instead of using the insecure method Remora uses

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
