I read with interest the review concerning McAfees PGP encryption software. What the review didn't point out is that this software is probably one of the least secure available. All versions since version 5 have had a back door built into them to allow the likes of the FBI and other government agencies to break your encryption with ease. The way to prevent this is to use version 5 which does not have this backdoor key but it is no longer readily available although I have found it on the Japanese Websites.

That's interesting. Where did you hear about that?
I suspect most users are looking for security against computer theft or nosey colleagues rather than the FBI, but it would be nice to know that your data was properly secure.
