USBCrypt 10.9 released

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

We’ve just released yet another update to our encryption product USBCrypt. This is a maintenance release that includes several fixes and improvements, such as:

  • When encrypting a drive, the size of the Virtual Encrypted Disk can now be selected using units other than MB.
  • The size of the Virtual Encrypted Disk is now displayed when choosing the Properties command from the taskbar icon right-click menu.
  • In some usage scenarios, the Optimize for performance option could cause 100% of the available RAM to be consumed. We have corrected that.

If you are already using a previous version of USBCrypt, you don’t need to remove it: just download and run the new version, and it should update the previous version while keeping your settings and customizations intact.

Happy encrypting!

USBCrypt v.10.8 released

Monday, August 30th, 2010

A new version 10.8 of our encryption software USBCrypt is available now!

This version includes many improvements and fixes, such as:

  • An option to select the preferred optimization of the Virtual Encrypted Disks: you can now choose whether to optimize for performance or for quick removal of the encrypted disks.
  • An option to launch the "autorun" process "As Admininstrator" when starting or stopping the encrypted disks.
  • While the encryption process of a drive is in progress, you can now minimize the USBCrypt window to the taskbar. You may find it handly when encrypting large drives.
  • You can now create custom names for the host disks (other than the default USBCrypt Host disk), to make it easier to recognize different disks in the Explorer windows.
  • Also, you can now pause and resume the encryption process, if you need to temporarily allow other programs to use the full CPU power fo your computer.
  • USBCrypt now warns you if you log off or shut down the computer while a disk is being encrypted.
  • The built-in backup software that comes with Windows 7 or Windows Vista can now recognize the Virtual Encrypted Disks as valid backup destinations for the documents and settings.
  • And more! Please give the new USBCrypt a try.

USBCrypt Beta 3 released

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

We have just released the new beta version 0.9.3 of USBCrypt. It’s still not too late to get a free USBCrypt license just for trying the beta version and telling us the results. If you have not tried it yet, please download and give it a good test it now. Thanks!

USBCrypt Beta 2 (v.0.9.2) released

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

We’ve just released a new beta version 0.9.2 of USBCrypt. It incorporates quite a few of the suggestions and bug fixes discovered during the previous beta. Keep them coming! Download the new beta and give it a try.

USBCrypt Beta 0.9.1 released

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

The first public beta version 0.9.1 of USBCrypt  is available now!

You can try the pre-release (beta) version to see how well it works for you. If you encounter a problem, please report it directly to the USBCrypt development team, to give it a chance to correct the error before officially releasing USBCrypt. In return, as our “thank you”, we are offering a free license to anyone who gives useful* feedback during the beta testing.

Of course, before you decide to try the beta version, consider carefully that it has not been fully tested yet and contains some unfinished pieces of code that may result in various problems (including the system crashes and data loss!). We DO NOT recommend trying the beta version on your main computer. Instead, we’d highly recommend installing it on a spare computer, that has no important files of yours. Only after giving it a good test, if you are confident in the beta version and your troubleshooting skills, you may want to try it on your main computer. In any case, it’s always a good idea to do the regular backup of your hard disk, to avoid losing your files should an unanticipated problem occur.

Want to give it a try? Go to the USBCrypt beta page to to find the download link and other related information.

Note: Due to the US government export restrictions, we can distribute USBCrypt software to the US residents only at this time. We anticipate to open the beta test to other users at a later date, after we have received the necessary export clearance from the US government.

*We reserve the right to decide which feedback is useful and which is not. For example, the general statements like “The application runs well” or “The application does not run” will not be considered useful. To be “useful”, we need much more detailed information about the problem you are experiencing, including the specifics of your computer, the version and edition of Windows that you run, the list of steps that we could execute to reproduce the error, and other relevant information that may help us correct the error.
