AxCrypt 1.7.2687

AxCrypt is the leading open source file encryption software for Windows. It integrates seamlessly with Windows to compress, encrypt, decrypt, store, send and work with individual files.

AxCrypt2Go and AxDecrypt are portable but limited in functionality. The full installer is recommended.
