    Hi,

    As the title already asks, which is the better program? Do you all prefer one over the other?

    I have personal experience with TrueCrypt only. The program works great, and the fact that you don't necessarily have to install the program in order to use it makes it really convenient. As far as I know, Truecrypt allows you to create encrypted folder volume (in the form of a emulated drive, stored as one big file), encrypt the whole physical drive and it allows a "hidden" volume where it hides inside another encrypted file/drive. The interface is really easy to navigate because almost everything is self explanatory, and best of all you can even set up a usb key to unlock the volume using an USB drive, although I have never used that feature. Right now, I am using it to lock all my University/personal documentations. :O Anyways, I hope this information helps.
