Kremlin Encrypt is a shareware and not freeware application.
A Kremlin Single License costs $35.00!!! It's not cheap or what do u think?
The other question is if you really need six algorithms.

It's as cheap as my download :top:

About multiple algors, never forget the encrypt fanatic that does multiple types on one set of files.. ;P Paranoia rules
I didn't see any folder encrypt function in axcrypt unfortunatly. So Kremlin spanks it there.

EDIT: One addition that I can deeply recommend once you got firefox installed is to get "noscript" from the addon site. You can surf without getting your heart in a stall mode again when visiting.... some sites.
