I was looking for a native 64-bit encryption software and found this one. The Snapfiles description above describes the features well.
The program installs easily, seems very light and starts up instantly. It is basically an archiver with more security options. You can create an archive in which to add, delete and extract files. Also you can create a self-extractor(EXE file) that extracts the contents automatically after entering the password. It has drag & drop and right-click features. You can create an archive or secure delete by right click. Settings include CPU settings (for priority), view options, preallocate disk space for new archives, copy process on drag & drop and adjust the number of secure delete passes. Advance options include saving time stamps & file attributes & paths, calculate CRCs, archive hidden & system files and securely delete source files after archiving.
There is one glitch/problem I have with it. The "New" button & "New" command under file menu does not work, it does nothing. Luckily the drag & drop and create from right-click features remedies this glitch/problem.
It is a great encryption program for those who need a free one. And it has a 64-bit version and free for personal or commercial use. But for those who already have an archive program with a built-in password encryption feature may not need this. Also it is unfortunate that this program has not been updated in 2 years. Hopefully development will continue.
