Pros: Integrated menu in Finder and email programs.
Cons: Only for the older Mac OS
The Bottom Line: If you plan on staying in System 9 for a long time, this is indispensable. I'm guessing most Mac users will want to evolve into OS 10, tho.

| zenpunk's Full Review: Network Associates PGP Personal Privacy 7.0 Full V... |
A great little program, allows you to send and receive encrypted files and messages with others.
The best part (IMHO) is a great module that lets you treat an encrypted file on your hard disk as if it was a hard disk (PGPDisk). This is the best way I've seen to protect sensitive data on your hard disk ... you don't have to encrypt and decrypt each file like the encrypt function in the Finder ... anything on the virtual disk is protected when you unmount it.
The worst part of the program is that it seems a bit behind the times. Ever since I upgraded to MacOS 9 the PGPDisk function broke on me. And I swear, it took them years to update it, but they finally fixed it THE DAY I MOVED TO OS 10. I'm guessing it'll be years now until they get it to work with that.
