WinAES

There are times when you need to encrypt your personal files and folders stored on a computer, for example, when the computer is shared with other people or in case your laptop gets stolen. In these situations, unauthorized users may have access to your personal data. But by installing the WinAES application, all this can be avoided. This intuitively named piece of software allows you to easily encrypt any file or folder with a secure password, so only you will have access to them.

Installing the program can be made using a couple of mouse clicks and the installer is point and click. After running the program, the user will notice that the interface of WinAES is very intuitive and simple to use. The first thing to do is to add into the program's interface all the files that the user would like to encrypt. Several files can be added at the same time and there is no format or maximum size limitation.

After adding the desired files into the program's interface, one will need to select the encryption algorithm and to set a password. Besides encrypting files, WinAES also allows displaying the hash and MD5 values of any file. Knowing these values is a very useful thing when comparing two versions of the same file or when wanting to make sure that a file isn't corrupted. There is also a complex password generator available, which allows the user to generate passwords using various settings, like the maximum length or type of characters.

A feature which makes WinAES different from other similar programs is the file eraser, which can completely delete any file, making it impossible to recover.
