PGP goes the whole hog of encryption

John Leyden at the Register has an article on PGP's latest product:

    PGP Corporation has launched a radical overhaul of its PGP desktop security suite aimed at making its products more comprehensive and easier to use. PGP Desktop 9.0, released Monday 9 May, features "automatic operation so email, instant messaging (IM), whole disk, and file encryption are secure without user interaction or training", the blurb boasts.

Top features in PGP Desktop 9.0 include:

    1. PGP Whole Disk secures your entire system
    2. PGP Virtual Disk secures files, folders, USB drives, and CDs
    3. PGP Mail automatically encrypts and digitally signs your email and attachments

    5. PGP Zip automatically compresses and encrypts messages, attachments, and files
    6. PGP Shred provides permanent and unreadable file deletion
