SecurePE is a user friendly freeware utility coded in 32bit assembly language that protects Microsoft Windows® PE files with a password, strong RC4 encryption and checksum while leaving them totally functional.
SecurePE user-friendly interface supports both drag & drop and shell operation of Windows Explorer. So you can protect files easily with a mouse click.
When a protected file is executed it displays a dialogbox asking the user for the correct password. The password is not stored in the file but a CRC32 hash algorithm. You must remember the password or you will not be able to execute the protected program again until you restore it from a backup. With the correct password you can run the program and even deprotect the file and give back it to its original state.
Unlike other protection utilities you may copy SecurePE protected files to another computer and it stays protected and functional without the need of re-protect the file again no matter what operating system this computer runs.
At last, but not at least, SecurePE has a checksum routine that detects any manipulation in the PE Header of the protected files.
