    Thanks for the link man, this is one of the best short PDFs you can read about crypto and PGP...everyone should read it....maybe it should be put on Acids FAQ?

    OK, be glad to, will send it as soon as get home and the inbasket halfway down, about midway thru next week; i have a collection of comments from quite awhile back on pgp. Seems the single weakness in 7.0.3 was discovered by a hi-tech lady professor and another professor in one of the Baltic countries. When i read it, it didn't ring many alarm bells, as it took some amount of trusting someone you don't know, sending them stuff you probably wouldn't anyway, and then sending them an encrypted (not just signed) message. Since that would be outside the realm of your normal corporate or business operation it didn't seem to be too critical. There was some discussion on another AO thread about the commercial version maybe having an NSI backdoor, but I don't give that too much credence because it was packaged too soon after the pgp purchase, and they have almost quit marketing it anyway. Besides, if NSI wants to see what I encrypt, they can be a cc addressee. Will get back to you with the white paper on the 7.0.3 "flaw" in about ten days.

    Use PGP 7.0.3, with only minimal installed components...and using the Wipe utility can result in a misrepresentation of free space (according to FAT32 and Win9x)...just fair warning...

    Any fixes for this problem?

    I have been using PGP for a while, currently 7.** version. Keep getting an error message when I do a free space wipe on the HD.. Runs for a while then says - "cannot continue wipe, another application wrote to the cluster being wiped" Perhaps not the correct wording but close enough. I am using windows ME ( apologies to all windows haters, just not clever enough to use anything else) Also the PGP option won't come up on the right click menu when I want to wipe temp files? Any ideas good people? Thanks!

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
    Hash: SHA1

    I use PGP 7.0.4 and it works great for me. I also use NTFS with EFS.

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
    Version: PGP 7.0.4

    I have been using PGP Corp desktop for a while now (at work) and I have not found any big problems, except that NAI decided to stop supporting the product .

    PGP Corp desktop should not be worth the price for a homeuser though even if NAI should continue to support the product.
