The program can also calculate the hash code for each selected file and check if the item has been tampered with. A dedicated window displays the contents of each subdirectory and separates the encrypted files in each location so that you may easily find them. Hash checker and secure file removerĬryptoNG is simple and comfortable to use since it allows you to view the folders as a tree structure, with expandable nodes. This way, you can decide what to do with the original, unencrypted file, whether to delete or move it to a secure location. Instead they are saved as a *.cng document at the same location as the original. The resulting encrypted files do not replace the source. The encoded items can only be opened with CryptoNG and their contents become available only after the files are decrypted. The program applies the AES-GCM 256-bit authenticated encryption algorithm, which provides data authenticity (integrity) and confidentiality. Therefore, the files cannot be read or decrypted with a different application and without knowing the password.

File manager and protectorĬryptoNG allows you to encode individual files by encasing them in a password protected shell, with a specific, unique extension. Moreover, you can also permanently delete certain files, without a chance for recovery. The application allows you to protect the files by instituting a password and restricting the access to it. The free edition does NOT automatically download definition updates.CryptoNG is a powerful, yet simple to use program that allows you to easily and effectively encrypt important files.

It is set up to be easy-to-use requiring no specialized user knowledge for usage.Įxisting copies of CryptoPrevent will continue to provide the current protections as expected, but will not update beyond version 9.1.0.0, the final update for the free edition. But now is much more of a comprehensive solution that can fully co-exist alongside other existing anti-virus/anti-malware software.ĬryptoPrevent creates no detectable impact on normal system performance or overly any time-consuming maintenance. Note, that because the group policy objects are artificially created, they will not display in the Group Policy Editor on a Professional version of Windows - but rest assured they are still there. CryptoPrevent will still artificially implant group policy objects into the registry specifically to block executables in certain locations from running. It began as a specific option for locking down Windows OS to prevent infection by the Cryptolocker malware or ‘ransomware’ - this strain encrypts personal files and then offers decryption for a paid ransom. CryptoPrevent provides a robust anti-virus/anti-malware software that bridges the gap present in most traditional security solutions by protecting against new and emerging ransomware as well as other forms of malicious software threats.
