Challenger 2.3.9
Data security has always been a prime concern for many PC users, and these days when personal details are stored electronically, data security becomes a necessity. One of the popular ways to protect your data is encryption. If you can afford the expensive vista Ultimate, you can feel safe because it already has an integrated encryption routine. All those who are not so lucky must try using the freeware challenger.
Challenger 2.3.9 is an encryption utility that encrypts your data using a two-key-process. This means that each file has two layers of protection and that makes Challenger 2.3.9 better than its competitor PGP. Besides a user password, the tool also encrypts the data with a random number. So, to encrypt and decrypt, one always need two pieces of information. The big advantage is that if an attacker has installed a key logger on your system and reads your password using it, you need not worry; your files will still be safe. The hacker still does not have the random number to decrypt the data. Take a backup of the Challenger-Directory so that you do not lose both keys.
For: Excellent encryption functionality.
Against: Unattractive interface.
