    Jetico BestCrypt info, screenshots & reviewsAlternatives to Jetico BestCrypt
    If your computer were ever to be stolen, are you certain that your personal information cannot be discovered? Jetico’s BestCrypt software automatically encrypts your files so that nobody can read the data unless they have the right password or keys.

    BestCrypt supports several encryption algorithms and security standards and offers multiple ways to work transparently with encrypted data:

    * Store encrypted data in containers and access the data through virtual drives.
    * Encrypt sets of files into a single compressed and self-extracting archive (Read more about BCArchive - included in BestCrypt).
    * See BestCrypt Volume Encryption to encrypt and transparently access whole Windows partitions/volumes - 25% discount when purchased together with BestCrypt.

    BestCrypt automatically encrypts data before saving or storing a file. Sensitive information is scrambled using an algorithm, making the data unreadable. BestCrypt will transparently decrypt the file once the file has been opened by providing the correct password or key.

    BestCrypt creates and supports encrypted virtual disks, which are visible as regular disks with corresponding drive letters (for example, D:, K:, Z:, i.e. with any drive letter that is not used by another system device).

    I 2nd the comment on BestCrypt vs. TrueCrypt. I was also a BestCrypt customer previously, but it no longer provides a good value for what you have to pay compared to other, far less expensive, and equally functional products.

    Here's the #1 and most important security feature BestCrypt has over TrueCrypt/Veracrypt and others: The mounted container cannot be accessed by other users with administrator rights.

    The vulnerability of TrueCrypt, Veracrypt, and others is that the mounted container is accessible to others with administrator rights. This means the container could be accessed from Remote Desktop or Desktop Sharing (Switch User).

    Jetico creates one jbc file and makes Windows not able to delete file for a regular user. The mount you mount the jbc file, you get full fletched hard drive experience. It is super user friendly and gets the job done.

    I was a BestCrypt user once. It was a good software. But I have switched to TrueCrypt because of their impudent pricing policy for Europeans (1$ = 1€) and their bad upgrade policy (if time is over, you even have to pay for bug-fixes). TrueCrypt makes it expendable.
