OpenPGP extension with Thunderbird beats this application.
Great free encryption; however, it slows your boot time considerably. My boot time went from less than 2 minutes to almost 5.
I just don't like it. It adds so much crap that isn't really that useful
Very cumbersome to use - probably not worth it unless you're very serious about security, and have a lot of friends who are equally serious (unless everyone else has PGP Desktop or some other variant, it won't do you any good)
I love it anyway.
freeware version not very useful, paid version too expensive
