This program has worked well for me, with no glitches or other problems. It is very convenient to use, and the secure shredder feature is handy to have in the context menu.

I cannot vouch for the encryption strength since I'm not a cryptographer, but I haven't found a way to view encrypted files using any of the basic means at my disposal.
