!! Point 'n Crypt -- Win95 Privacy for Everyone !!
A Windows 95 extension for encrypting files is now available from SoundCode, Inc. Just right-mouse click on any file, provide a passphrase, and it's done. Point 'n Crypt visually indicates that a file is encrypted, and optionally provides the encryptor's name for easy passphrase lookup. Point 'n Crypt is FREE during the beta period (through 12/31/1996) and will list for $19.95. Point 'n Crypt uses 40-bit DES-CBC (exportable), salted SHA passphrases, and conforms to PKCS #5 and PKCS #7. For more info, check out www.soundcode.com/pointNcrypt.htm

40bit encryption isn't much security at all. If you've got something important enough to encrypt, then it's important enough to find a proper encryption program. Why would anyone buy this shit? (That's a rhetorical question, of course; the answer is because some people are stupid...)
