HotCrypt
Version: 4.1.2

HotCrypt is an encryption program for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.
Running minimized to an icon in the System Tray (or even invisible at all), it lets you make text within any window unreadable for other people.

You just press a hotkey (or click the menu item), then enter an encryption password - and the text in your window becomes encrypted.
To read a previously encrypted message (or any other text) do exactly the same: press the hotkey and enter the password. If the password is correct, the special HotCrypt's viewer will pop-up, showing the original text.
HotCrypt was developed especially for keeping e-mail messages hidden from "prying eyes", but it can be used for protecting any text in virtually any window.

Other features:
-Reliable encryption algorithm (Blowfish)
-Password management system
-Invisible mode
-PCtoPC encryption (encryption with hardware identification)
-Login authorization on startup
-Multi-user support
-File encryption

New in version 4.1:
-Drag and Drop functionality added in file encryption/decryption window
-A problem with applying password list to file encryption/decryption fixed
New in this update (4.1.2):
-All other reported problems fixed

Important note: Due to US regulations concerning encryption software export, this version of HotCrypt limits password length to 5 characters (40 bits encryption). In the registered version, passwords can be up to 56 characters long (448 bits encryption).
